Interesting facts

Ishq (transl. Love) is an Indian 1997 Hindi-language masala film directed by Indra Kumar. It stars Aamir Khan, Ajay Devgn, Juhi Chawla and Kajol along with Dalip Tahil, Sadashiv Amrapurkar, Johnny Lever and Mohan Joshi in supporting roles. The music was composed by Anu Malik.

Production

Director Indra Kumar initially planned Ishq in 1991 with Aamir Khan and Pooja Bhatt, but the project was shelved due to personal issues between the actors. Boney Kapoor later suggested Sanjay Kapoor and Vivek Mushran, but Kumar was not keen and instead made Raja (1995). He revived Ishq in 1996 with Khan, Ajay Devgn, Juhi Chawla, and Kajol in the lead roles.

Karisma Kapoor declined the film as she did not wish to work opposite Ajay Devgn, while Madhuri Dixit opted out due to scheduling conflicts. Amitabh Bachchan was signed for a role uniting the couples post-intermission but left due to creative differences; the character was later dropped. Ishq was Kumar’s first film without Madhuri Dixit and marked his second collaboration with Aamir Khan after Dil (1990), and his first with Devgn.

Principal photography for Ishq commenced in 1996, with shooting locations including Mumbai and Nashik, Maharashtra.
