Salman Khan wanted to appear in Shah Rukh Khan’s “Pardes.” According to filmmaker Subhash Ghai’s prediction, “Pardes” might have similar success in Bollywood to “Hum Aapke Hain Koun.” But Subhash Ghai declined, despite being urged by the impressive cast, which included Madhuri Dixit, Salman Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan.

Subhash Ghai stated in an interview that the distributors had recommended he cast Salman Khan in Pardes in addition to SRK. Ghai rejected Salman’s casting because he wanted someone more fashionable.
The failure of his previous picture put a lot of strain on him. To give the movie a tremendous boost, the distributors urged him to cast Madhuri and Salman opposite Shahrukh. But he flatly declined, believing that Madhuri and Salman would not have been able to do my characters.

Salman Khan, on the other hand, spoke about his dispute with Ghai in an interview, saying, “I’ve never defeated Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, sorry. I merely struck Subhash Ghai. “In addition, Salman said, “There were occasions when I lost control and he beat me with a spoon or nearly shattered a dish on my forehead.”

Ghai, however, gave a very different account of what happened. Salman arrived the following morning and approached him, acting like a guilty child, the man stated. He claimed that his father had instructed him to come here. That’s how we broke the ice, Subhash Ghai said. “Salman now treats me like an older brother, and I truly love him for whatever he is.” Despite having a significant fall out, they eventually worked together on “Yuvvraaj,” a film directed by Subhash.
