Making of the film 
The making of the film showcases how Farah had a basic outline for the film since 1999. “I knew it had to be a campus film. I knew it had to have Shahrukh Khan in it. So the whole thing is how to put him back to collegeâ€, says director Farah Khan. The making part covers a complete perspective on the film seen through the eyes of almost every member of the cast and the crew. The detailing of the still camera photography incorporated for the Matrix style action sequences are one of the most striking features covered in the making. 
Some interesting factfile on the making
* The cycle-rickshaw action sequence shown in Darjeeling in the film was shot in the Goregaon Filmcity.
* Shahrukh's bullet that pierced through Sushmita's sari in the climax action scene was shot without Sush's knowledge. “The expression on my face is very genuine and I was shocked out of my lifeâ€, says Sushmita. 
* Shahrukh had to bear Satish Shah's spitting a several number of times as he and Farah couldn't stop laughing hysterically on the sets. 
Additional scenes 
 The DVD features around 6 additional scenes that were deleted from the theatrical version on the editor's table. Of those scenes the notable ones include Shahrukh's entry in the Darjeeling city, Suniel Shetty's verbal confrontation with Zayed Khan in the climax where Zayed is trapped as a hostage and a casual campus scene between Shahrukh, Zayed, Amrita and Lays! Yes, a Lays chips packet! It gets substantial footage in the scene too. 
Out takes 
Some retakes of the film that resulted out of hilarious goof-ups while shooting also feature on the DVD.
