Filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya is credited with crafting the iconic Prem character for Salman Khan on-screen. The character has remained synonymous with Khan, and now, Sooraj has revealed that he is working on a new script featuring Salman in a more mature and nuanced love story.
During an interaction with Hindustan Times, the filmmaker was asked about his next project with Salman. Sooraj quickly responded, “It is on the cards.” He also revealed that he must create a new ‘Prem’ for Khan, but with the same fun, masti, and family values.
He then said, “But it is going to take a little more while because we have to accept that age is now there. I have to create a new Prem. It has to suit his age. You cannot expect him to do the same thing which we have been doing till now. So, to suit that age is taking me a little more time so that I can create a fresh Prem for him that goes with the same fun, same masti, and same family values.”
Sooraj noted, “But it will be on a different matured level. That is an experiment that is taking a little more time”.
Sooraj Barjatya is foraying into the OTT world with his new work, titled Bada Naam Karenge, which will stream on SonyLIV.
