Hum Tum was a hit at the box office and made Saif Ali Khan a bankable name. However, the makers had different plans for the movie. Apparently, the makers of Hum Tum had started off with a very long title, which was Na Jane Kab Pyar Ho Gaya. However, it was later changed to a short and sweet sounding Hum Tum. Also, when the film started off there was apparently a cameo offered to Lara Dutta. However, according to IMDb, the actress was busy shooting for Khakee and hence had to opt out.
Saif Ali Khan won National award for this film. Rani Mukherjee swept all major awards except national award.
