Sooraj Barjatya on Salman Khan's return as Prem: Script must be age-appropriate
However, the filmmaker is already working on his next film- another family entertainer with a dash of his style of a sweet love story. He mentioned how every director has their own strength that they work on, and in his age, he feels more responsible towards telling a story that celebrates his world.'We will be announcing the film soon, probably in November. It features established actors, but we cannot talk much about it. It's a family drama and a love story, a world that we present strongly in our films. I do feel responsible towards giving our audiences the stories that we believe and celebrate,' he said.Barjatya is also set to soon launch a TV show on Colors, Mannpasand Ki Shaadi. The new age romantic-family drama talks about the quest of young people finding their right partner. It will also delve into the parents-children's relationships and how the dynamics are ever-evolving.Salman's last film with the director-producer was the family drama 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo' (2015).Barjatya's last theatrical release was 'Uunchai', for which he got the National Film Award for Best Director.- EndsMust Watch
