Filmmaker Anees Bazmee revisited the difficult reshoot of Laadla after Divya Bharti’s untimely death. Nearly the entire film had to be remade, which was a devastating process for everyone. Sridevi eventually agreed to star in the lead role, elevating the movie’s quality. She had previously rejected the Tamil and Telugu versions of the same story. Bazmee’s script revisions convinced Sridevi to accept the challenging Hindi remake.
