Veteran filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi would have managed a casting coup of sorts when he got two of the biggest superstars Aamir Khan and Shahrukh Khan together to hear the script of his movie 'Rashque' (Urdu word meaning 'Jealousy'). Both the Khans loved the script about musician friends and were keen to work with the director. For three nights Santoshi even managed to get Bollywood's two most charismatic stars together for a joint narration. But for months after that, Raj Santoshi chased both actors independently and neither of them reverted. Finally Rajkumar Santoshi shelved the idea of this ambitious project.The master director is known for his famous movies like 'Damini', 'Ghayal', 'Ghatak', Andaz Apna Apna', 'Khakee' and 'The Legend Of Bhagat Singh'.

The rights of the script were later acquired by Vipul Amrutlal Shah and hence 'London Dreams' was made. Salman Khan did the role meant for Aamir Khan while Ajay Devgn portrayed the character originally written for Shahrukh Khan. The movie did not fare well at the box office but the performances of lead actors got appreciated. Rajkumar Santoshi had earlier managed to bring together Aamir Khan and Salman Khan for the first and probably last time in his cult comedy 'Andaz Apna Apna'.
