"I had invited Shahrukh here for the premiere of my film, but he told me that he would attend the opening night instead," Deshpande told reporters.

Speaking about his film, Deshpande, known for his quirky roles like that of a gangling ascetic in Ashutosh Gowarikar's "Swades", said that the movie was about a girl who has a small brush with Shahrukh Khan in real life which completely transforms her life.
