Filmmaker Priyadarshan revealed that he wanted to cast Amitabh Bachchan in 'Hungama' for the role, which was later portrayed by actor Paresh Rawal in the movie. "Amitabh would have done magic. Of course, Paresh did well," Priyadarshan added. "But then he (Amitabh) fell sick, he was not well, so I was forced to take Paresh," Priyadarshan stated.
