Production
Yash Chopra returned to directing after seven years, his last directed film being Dil To Pagal Hai. The film was originally going to be called Yeh Kahan Aa Gaye Hum, a name taken from the title of a song in the movie Silsila (1981). Chopra, eventually decided on Veer-Zaara as a title. However, one of the songs in the film is called "Yeh Hum Aa Gaye Hain Kahan", a twist on the proposed title.
Veer Zaara was Chopra's third consecutive film to feature Shahrukh Khan in the lead role. Originally, Chopra had intended Aishwarya Rai to play the role of Saamiya Siddiqui, however Rai declined and the role was given to Rani Mukerji.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“... this dream that men shall cease to waste strength in competition and shall come to pool their powers of production is coming to pass all over the earth.”
—Jane Addams (1860–1935)
“The heart of man ever finds a constant succession of passions, so that the destroying and pulling down of one proves generally to be nothing else but the production and the setting up of another.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
