This is when his celebrity creed grew to unhealthy proportions and his love life started getting more prominence than his acting life - somewhere in this phase, Saif lost the momentum. But then began his Saifeena phase with Tashan - and just when Saif was poised to take flight into the elusive Three-Only-Khans Club - the Saif story changed dramatically. He announced himself as a true contender, challenging the existing star order. With Kal Ho Naa Ho and Hum Tum, he reinvented the romantic comedy hero and came into his own with a flourish in Ek Haseena Thi, Parineeta, Being Cyrus and Omkaara. There was a time, post Hum Saath Saath Hai and Dil Chahta Hai when Saif was making the most exciting choices in the Mumbai film industry. I went in to see it for Saif because as an actor-viewer we’ve been more or less on the same page. The film didn’t work for me at all, but to be fair I didn’t go in to see the film on the merit of its director Sajid Khan. He must have been really motivated to do this film because only then can he justify why he subjected himself and his audience to all the drooling, barking, hammy lines and the drag dressing that summarises his role in Humshakals. I need an insight into his mind to understand why he chose Humshakals. The phone call is pending because I really want to know what’s going on with him.
It is to be noted that Madhuri had played Salman's ladylove Nisha in Hum Aapke Hain Koun.! and Saif's love interest in Aarzoo before Hum Saath Saath Hain.Sometimes you are so taken in by an actor and his antics on screen that you want to meet him, shake him and say, “Man, how could you do that?” After watching Humshakals, I almost called Saif to ask him this.

Another casting-related rumour is that Madhuri Dixit was approached to play the role of the eldest daughter-in-law, later played by Tabu.

Raveena, as per reports, was of the view that a multi-starrer won't be good for her career at that point in time. The actress, however, had rejected the film back in the day. Salman, in fact, was also keen on Raveena playing the part. For instance, did you know that Sonali Bendre wasn't the first choice for the role of Salman Khan's love interest? While now one can't imagine anyone other than Sonali as the sweet and amicable Preeti, the first choice for the film was actually Raveena Tandon. From how the cast bonded on the sets to what all went behind the scenes, a lot many stories from the making of Hum Saath Saath Hain have previously made their way to the internet.īut for a multi-starrer like this, it's almost inevitable to not have a casting-related story.
