2) Reports suggest actors Gulshan Grover and late Amrish Puri were also signed for the film but opted out later from the project.

3) The scene featuring Dalip Tahil taking Bobby Deol through a secret passage was filmed at the popular Sydney underwater aquarium.

4) Soldier marked the beginning of a super successful collaboration between Bobby and director duo Abbas-Mustan. After the film’s success, they went on to collaborate again for multiple films such as Ajnabee (2001), Humraaz 2002, Naqaab (2007) and Players (2012).
