The
film faced a few cast changes during the planning stages.
Shah
Rukh Khan was supposed to play the part of Munna but then he was
replaced by Sanjay Dutt.
The
female lead also underwent a lot of changes. Aishwarya Rai was first
choice but since she was busy with her other films, she was replaced
by Rani Mukherjee.
She
too backed out and the role went to Tabu. But it was not long before
she left too.
The
role finally went to Gracy Singh of the Armaan fame.
Other
characters in this film include Zaheer (Jimmy Shergill) who suffers
from cancer but only wants the tender care of Dr Munnabhai.
There
is Circuit (Arshad Warsi) who plays the sidekick of Munna throughout
the film.
This
comedy is directed by Rajkumar Hirani. His past achievement includes
work in the editing department for Hindi films.
He
recently received the Best Editor award at the Zee Cine Awards for
director Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s Mission Kashmir.
