Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Maine Pyar Kiya (1989)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Shabina Dutt failed her screen test for the female lead and suggested Salman Khan, with whom she had made an ad film; Khan was unenthusiastic about the soft film and Barjatya disliked his first audition, yet Barjatya convinced him to star.
- Faraaz Khan, son of actor Yusuf Khan, was almost finalised as Prem but was replaced at the last minute because of health issues; Vindu Dara Singh and Deepak Tijori had also auditioned for the role.
- Bhagyashree turned down the film to pursue higher studies, so Sooraj Barjatya rewrote parts of the script before she agreed to play Salman Khan's love interest.
- Maine Pyar Kiya was made on a budget of around ₹1 crore and earned a profit of over ₹20 crore by 1990, saving Rajshri Productions from closing down.
- Nutan, the veteran actress and mother of Mohnish Bahl, was unhappy that her son was cast as the villain rather than in other roles; the makers assured her the character would be long remembered.
- Sooraj Barjatya copied Tom Cruise's Top Gun jacket for Salman Khan, giving him a jacket with patches of American Army, Navy and Air Force insignia and other defence badges.
- Maine Pyar Kiya became a cult favourite for its songs, dialogues and the chemistry between Salman Khan and Bhagyashree, and it established the careers of supporting actors Mohnish Bahl and Laxmikant Berde.
