For the first time, Shahrukh Khan played the role of a negative character despite being the hero and he stole the show. The movie chronicled the story of a man with a vendetta against a business tycoon. Also, director Mustan walked down the memory lane and spilled a few beans about Shahrukh Khan and Kajol.

Baazigar Made Shahrukh Khan & Kajol Bollywood's Best Couple, Says Director Mustan
"People still like the film and it is a big compliment to the entire team. The important thing is the maker should be convinced with his own vision as that will reflect on screen. We had a hero playing a negative role. Though it led to the hit pairing of Shahrukh and Kajol, it was not a romantic film. But it all worked well," Mustan told PTI.
If A Son Takes Revenge For His Mother, All His Sins Are Forgiven
"It is all about bringing the right emotion for a film. If the mother-son relationship is explored and justified properly on screen then it definitely strikes a chord with audience. If a son is taking revenge for his mother then his every sin is forgiven. And it worked well with the audience," he said.
Shahrukh Khan Throwing Shilpa Shetty Off The Terrace Is Copied From Hollywood
"Our film is completely different from this Hollywood movie. Only one shot where a man throws a girl off the terrace, we just had that scene where Shahrukh's character throws Shilpa off the terrace to her death. That film has no track of mother-son. It is there in our film," Mustan says.
Baazigar Was Shot During The Mumbai Riots!
"There was a tense moment due to riots, people were scared and were not going out. But Mumbai is a city that bounces back like never before. Once things got cleared, work began as usual. We started shooting sometime in late March and wrapped it by May-June and decided to release it on Diwali. The film was earlier set to release in June-July," said Mustan.
