'Dil Chahta Hai' director Farhan Akhtar revealed that his dream cast in his head for the movie was Hrithik Roshan, Akshaye Khanna, and Abhishek Bachchan. "When I was writing...two of them hadn't even debuted yet...I knew Abhishek was doing Refugee, and...Hrithik...was doing Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai. So I thought it'd be amazing to get these three guys together," he added.
