The legendary duo of Sooraj Barjatya and Salman Khan that delivered Bollywood some of its most treasured family fares is ready to make a decidedly welcome return. The two, who were best known to have portrayed the wholesome character of Prem are reuniting in a family drama. The pair have now teamed up after a long hiatus with the last film being Prem Ratan Dhan Payo in 2015.

Barjatya has assured that although the movie will carry the usual family value with sweet romance which characterises his movies, he will include an age suitable script to Salman Khan. This fresh venture is purposeful move to develop the character of Prem taking it forward with a twist of the present age of the actor maintaining the fundamental theme of happiness and familial relationships in life. It is likely to be a jubilant event to the people who have anticipated this cinematic magic since long.

Redefining ‘Prem’: A Mature Character for a New Era

It is not going to be the reprise of their previous smashing hits as it is Sooraj Barjatya who will be creating his next film with Salman Khan. Rather, the director is concerned with an important and considerate recasting of the character Prem. The film maker has claimed that the new Prem is more mature, which is appropriate to Salman khan as well as to the changing times of modern families.

The action is an act of deliberate changes that can make the character more relevant and identifiable to the current viewers. Such a more sophisticated depiction, taking place in the contemporary world of family life, will be established around this new narrative of the film that will be well-suited to reflect the joys and the complexities of a modern family. It is such an original choice that reveals the commitment of Barjatya to his work and his willingness to be creative in such a classical form of filmmaking.

A Return to Roots: Barjatya’s Cinematic Signature

Although the new movie will feature a more mature character, it will be a traditional family entertainer at heart made by Sooraj Barjatya. What really works and proves to be the distinctive power of the filmmaker is his skill in developing interesting plots focusing on tight-knit families, customs, and feasts. This should not be any different as Barjatya should have come back to the world family drama and a love story as he so wants to project through his films.

In making the decision to reunite with Salman Khan, not only is the director reviving one of the most effective screen pairings, but he is also proving once again his loyalty to the genre that has made his career. The movie will touch on love in little things and the long-lasting value of family ties and serve as a dose of wholesome entertainment to the movie goers.
