Sanjay varma is an eligible young man, who has been having hallucinations of a past life as Shantanu. He travels to a small community and meets with Sanjana Sharma and recognizes her as the girl named Lachi in his hallucinations. Convinced that they were lovers from a past life, he attempts in vain to impress this upon Sanjana Sharma.
Mani Ratnam andShekhar Kapur both turned down the chance to direct the film beforeSatish Kaushik was finalised.[3][4] This film marked the debut ofSanjay Kapoor.[5] This was Tabu's first Hindi film that she signed as a lead actress althoughPehla Pehla Pyar (1994) released first.[6] The film apparently took eight years to complete owing to several delays and the film had been in production since 1989.[7] According to some media sources and reports, speculations erupted over possibilities of a deep chemistry between lead actors Sanjay and Tabu that was largely gossiped in film circles to have been unfolded during the film shooting.[8] In an interview, actress Tabu revealed that it wasShekhar Kapur who convinced her to sign up forPrem and she said it was one of the worse decisions that she took in her life as she regretted taking up a role in the film.[9]
