Previously, when Karisma Kapoor won a Filmfare award for her role in Dil To Pagal Hai, the actress had revealed how she too, was on the verge of refusing the role initially, after four other leading actresses already did so. Explaining the reason for the same, she mentioned how nobody wished to feature in a dance film with such a tremendous dancer like Madhuri Dixit. In her words:
“Every single heroine refused the film. The role came to me...it was a dance film and that too to work opposite Madhuri Dixit, they said 'How can we dance alongside Madhuri Dixit ji!' Initially, I too said no to it as it was a dance film and competition dance with Madhuri Dixit. I said, 'This isn’t happening'. Then finally, Yash ji and Adi narrated the story to me. My mother told me, 'You must take up the challenge. You are a big fan of Madhuri Dixit, you must do it. You work hard and you will shine.”
