Pardes will be screened at New Excelsior on 5 November.  “It feels like I directed this film yesterday. SRK loved the story and he agreed to do the film. During casting, the producers were keen to cast Madhuri and Salman … the original wish list was SRK, Salman and Madhuri,” he says, adding, “But I put my foot down and said I only want new comers opposite SRK. I convinced them and then went ahead with the film.”
