Rekha did the voiceovers for Soundarya and Jayasudha. Pooja Batra was offered the role opposite Amitabh Bachchan, but she declined as she felt there wasn't much scope in the role and she had done a similar role in Virasat (1997). The makers were toying with the idea of casting real life father and son Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan in principal roles.
