Farhan Akhtar recently recalled his directorial debut with Dil Chahta Hai. He opened up about casting the right actors for the movie. Sharing about Aamir and Saif's casting, Akhtar revealed to Rajat Sharma, "I had never even thought that Aamir Khan would agree to do this film. So, I met all the actors and nobody wanted to do a multi-hero film. The trend during the late '90s was that of a love triangle, and they wanted to do a film on that. However, in the end, I went to Aamir Khan because I didn't have a choice." Opening up about the movie, he recalled rewriting the dialogues in English.
