During the making of “Mela,” Aamir, striving for sequences that went against his established persona, asked the director to replicate a distasteful scene from the Hollywood movie “Dumb and Dumber.” Director Dharmesh Darshan said, “You wouldn’t believe this, but there’s that urine therapy sequence (in the film) with Johnny Lever. For the first time in my life, I wept on set. I said, ‘Who will believe this is an Aamir Khan sequence?’” However, Aamir insisted that they shouldn’t be pretentious. The director admitted that the scene was obscene but performed it despite his reservations because he had committed to the project.
