The simple yet amusing reason behind making these two different endings is for the satisfaction of the fans of both actors. While the ending of Mohanlal getting Juhi Chawla at the end would be preferable for Mohanlal fans, a different ending which sees Mammootty winning Juhi in the end would be appealing to his fans, according to IMDb. This was done purely to keep the fans of both the actors satisfied and happy with the ending. In the original version, however, it is shown that it is Mohanlal who marries Juhi Chwla.
