(4) Vidya Balan’s first film to release was a Bengali one called Bhalo Theko (as three films in Tamil and Malayalam she was signed for, were either shelved or Vidya was dropped).

(10) Farhan Akhtar was an apprentice on Yash Chopra’s Lamhe and an assistant director on Himalay Putra, which was Akshaye Khanna’s debut film. Maybe he pitched the idea of Dil Chahta Hai to him then?
