Production

In 1995, cinematographer Ashok Mehta decided to turn director with a film that would star Sanjay Dutt in the lead role. However, Dutt was unable to act in it due to his legal court case proceedings, and Mehta opted for another actor. John Abraham was considered for the role before Arjun Rampal was selected for the protagonist at the recommendation of Shekhar Kapur. Manisha Koirala was signed as the heroine.

Mehta began filming Moksha in 1997 but financial issues kept delaying the shooting. It took several years to complete the film.
