The film was produced by Saif Ali Khan and Dinesh Vijan, starring Deepika Padukone, Khan and debutante Diana Penty as the lead roles, with Boman Irani and Dimple Kapadia and Randeep Hooda in supporting roles. Reminiscing how she prepped for the role, Padukone shared how Veronica’s (her character in the film) personality is not one she was familiar with at that stage in her life, “When I was given the script to read I assumed it was for Meera’s character (played by Penty). Imtiaz Ali called me up one day and requested me to re-read the script for Veronica. After a couple of days and giving it some thought, I understood what he meant and saw what he saw. While I had butterflies in my tummy, I also knew I was ready for it,” the actor said in a press release. She further adds, “I don’t think I would have been able to do what I did if it wasn’t for Homi Adajania. He gave me wings to fly and made me believe I could do no wrong. With that belief, we were able to create a character that will live in our hearts forever.” Music composer duo Nikhil-Vinay celebrate 20 years of the superhit musical Tum Bin

There was so much trust, love and affection between all of us. Bhushan Kumar had complete trust and faith in our abilities and Anubhav Sinha was also in great spirits.” Tum Bin is best known for its memorable soundtrack composed by Nikhil-Vinay, the beautifully melancholic ‘Koi Fariyaad; sung by legendary ghazal singer Jagjit Singh. He further added “The songs are still relevant and remembered today because they were composed with complete freedom given to the composers and unit. Bhushan Kumar trusted us and Faaiz Anwar. He was also new and gave us a free hand. We kept the melody in all songs. In the long run, good lyrics and melody always work. We took great care to see that the orchestration suits the situations of the songs. Though we modernised the musical orchestration we used violins and all original instruments to highlight the songs. The songs were well picturised by Anubhav Sinha in Panavision colour. The script and the story made the film immortal.” Tum Bin, starring Priyanshu Chatterjee, Himanshu Malik, Sandali Sinha and Raqesh Vashisth, also marked the directorial debut of Sinha.
