Trivia

1.7:30 p.m. was the time when "Bhagat Singh" was hanged to death and it has been captured in the movie. The broken watch of Sue's grandfather shows the same time too.
2. Aamir Khan was initially uncertain about taking on the role of DJ, as he was in his 40s and DJ was a 25-year-old Punjabi in the film. He eventually accepted, though, and hired a tutor to aid him in Punjabi speech and accents.
3. A.R. Rahman worked on the music of this film for three years.
4. In India, the color of saffron represents sacrifice. When someone says, "Main rang de Basanti", ("paint me saffron") it means that person is ready to be sacrificed for a great cause. Saffron is also a predominant color in the movie.
5. India's official entry to the Oscars for the Best Foreign Language Film category in 2007.
6. The film was to be made both in Hindi and English versions. The English version was to be titled "Paint It Yellow". The plans for the English version were dropped subsequently.
7. The role played by Siddharth was also initially offered to Farhan Akhtar. But Farhan was not ready to act.
8. Rang De Basanti is based on a poem written by Dushyant Kumar.
9. Arjun Rampal was signed to do the film but was irritated with the director, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra's indecisiveness about what he wanted to do with the characters and the script. He called him "very confused" and "unprofessional" and dropped out. Arjun Rampal also stated his regret in even agreeing to do the film in that he lost a lot of good work in the three months he spent committed to it.
10. Nelly Furtado was to act and sing in the movie. Once the producers changed, the idea of signing Nelly Furtado was dropped. 11. After rejecting the role of DJ, Shah Rukh Khan was also offered the role of Flight Lieutenant Ajay Rathod, but he couldn't do it owing to his busy schedule. Later Madhavan took the part, and this cameo turned out to be the best bet of Madhavan in his career in Bollywood.
12. Madhavan, despite being a well-known Tamil cinema actor, took the smaller role of a fighter aircraft pilot because he was convinced of the film's potential and wanted to be a part of it.
13. While speaking about Aamir's experience of visiting the Gurudwara for the first time, he said: It's one of the most peaceful places I've been to. As you enter the place there's a certain serenity that surrounds you. I enjoyed being there. The first shot we took was of our feet entering the water just as we pass the doorway of the temple. The water was cold but it was great!
14. Preity Zinta was offered Soha's role but she declined.
15. Shah Rukh Khan was the original pick to play DJ, but the shooting for the film was in Delhi, and Khan was forced to decline because he was shooting Paheli (2005) at the time, and did not want to conflict schedules.
