Salman Khan to reunite with Maine Pyar Kiya filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya? Here’s what we know

After creating hits such as 'Maine Pyar Kiya', 'Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!', and 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo', director Sooraj Barjatya is gearing up to team up with Salman Khan once again for their upcoming venture.

According to the most recent update from Bollywood Hungama, Salman and Sooraj have indeed locked in the script for their upcoming film but are yet to settle on the title for the movie.

“Sooraj ji is not making anything titled Prem Ki Shaadi. It is a totally different script. He is coming together again with Salman," a friend of Barjatya claimed.

Another source close to the development added, “For nine years, Soorajji and Salman Bhai have been looking for a script that would bring them together again after Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. They’ve finally cracked an idea that they both like. Nahin toh pehle yeh tha ke ek ko pasand toh doosre ko nahin."

The insider further claimed that Salman and Sooraj’s upcoming collaboration “will be unlike anything they have done, individually or together". The shoot of the film is likely to begin early next year.

The buzz about Salman Khan and Sooraj Barjatya teaming up for a film initially hit the news in March 2023 when a source mentioned by Pinkvilla reported,“With the film, Sooraj plans to celebrate love in the backdrop of nuclear families and is among the most special subjects that he has developed till date."

“Sooraj Barjatya will get into the process of locking the female lead and key ensemble cast of Prem Ki Shaadi in a couple of months. While his films have always had romantic tracks leading to “shaadi", this time around, the entire conflict revolves around the life of a married couple with strong family elements," the insider added.

On the professional front, Salman is currently engrossed in AR Murugadoss' Sikandar, produced by Nadiadwala Grandson. The movie features Rashmika Mandanna and Sathyaraj in pivotal roles and is set to hit theaters on Eid 2025.

Additionally, Salman will star in Vishnuvardhan's upcoming project 'The Bull'. He is also lined up for Tiger vs Pathaan alongside Bollywood's King Khan Shah Rukh Khan. Furthermore, he is all set to collaborate once again with Sajid Nadiadwala for 'Kick 2'.
