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:
“The society based on production is only productive, not creative.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“Perestroika basically is creating material incentives for the individual. Some of the comrades deny that, but I can’t see it any other way. In that sense human nature kinda goes backwards. It’s a step backwards. You have to realize the people weren’t quite ready for a socialist production system.”
—Gus Hall (b. 1910)
“An art whose limits depend on a moving image, mass audience, and industrial production is bound to differ from an art whose limits depend on language, a limited audience, and individual creation. In short, the filmed novel, in spite of certain resemblances, will inevitably become a different artistic entity from the novel on which it is based.”
—George Bluestone, U.S. educator, critic. “The Limits of the Novel and the Limits of the Film,” Novels Into Film, Johns Hopkins Press (1957)
