Sooraj Barjatya Gets Back to the Original Prem-Salman Khan

Once known to be a person with Midas touch, Sooraj Barjatya who gave two of the biggest hits in Indian cinema- “Maine Pyar Kiya” and “Hum Aapke Hain Koun” is returning to his favorite star Salman Khan for two films. Both Salman and Sooraj have had a cordial relationship and both are known to have immense respect for each other

Sooraj’s woes began after he decided to take other actors instead of Salman Khan. Whenever he did a film with other actors, it either flopped or turned to be mere average. However, there is a reason why Sooraj had not taken Salman Khan in his films after Hum Saath Saath Hain. After the infamous Black Buck case, Sooraj’s father Raj Kumar Barjatya(who produces most of the films in the Barjatya banner) had banned the superstar from being a part of his productions. He had reportedly asked his son Sooraj to part ways with Salman personally as well as professionally.

Says a close source to Sooraj, “Everyone at Rajshri had presumed that Soorajji would never direct another film. Without Salman, Soorajji’s heart was just not in it. Salman had imbibed so many of Soorajji’s mannerisms that people said they looked like brothers. Salman was the only non-family male member who could move freely in and out of the Rajshri household. The black buck incident changed everything.”

However, true friendship never parts and though Sooraj did not go against his father’s wishes, he wished that Salman would be a part of his films again. Other actors were never able to get the same magic as the superstar, Main Prem Ki Deewani with Hrithik Roshan bombed and Vivah with Shahid Kapoor was also a hit only in certain parts of the country. Finally, Sooraj decided not to do any more films till he was able to clear his problem with Salman. He sorted out the issue with his father and things seems to be settled now. Salman Khan has also given his nod for a cameo role in Rashri Productions ‘Love You Mr.Kalakar’. Apart from this, Sallu will be doing a lead role in Sooraj Barjatya’s next directorial venture.
