After Darr & Baazigar, Anjaam was the third film of Shahrukh Khan in negative role.
The producers told the distributors that the film did not have a hero. Shah Rukh was on all the publicity but was the film's villain. Deepak Tijori's role was too small to be considered the hero. The film's lead protagonist was only Madhuri Dixit.
First movie to have Shahrukh and Madhuri as lead pair.
The performances of Madhuri Dixit and Shahrukh Khan were critically acclaimed.
Anjaam became a cult film over the years. Shahrukh Khan's performance as an obsessive lover and Madhuri Dixit's performance as a revenge seeking wife and mother was widely praised.
