Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Fanaa (2006)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- While promoting Fanaa in Gujarat, Aamir Khan criticised Chief Minister Narendra Modi's handling of the Narmada Dam and said displaced villagers needed rehabilitation; the Bharatiya Janata Party reacted with outrage.
- Aamir Khan refused to apologise after the Gujarat government demanded one, saying he only asked for poor farmers' rehabilitation, and Fanaa was then unofficially banned across the entire state.
- A single privately owned cinema in Jamnagar, Gujarat, screened Fanaa with police protection; it ran for over a week before being pulled after a man set himself on fire in protest at the screening.
- Most of Fanaa was shot in the Tatra Mountains in southern Poland, which gave the production a snowy, mountainous landscape to stand in for the Kashmir Valley.
- Aishwarya Rai was Yash Raj Films' first pick for Zooni, but after director Kunal Kohli asked Aamir Khan who to recommend, they cast Kajol instead.
- Fanaa was the last film for which Jatin–Lalit composed the music as a duo, and the pair split up afterwards.
- Fanaa was the first time Aamir Khan and Kajol were paired romantically opposite each other, though it was their second film together after Ishq (1997).
