3 min readMumbaiApr 15, 2026 04:43 PM IST Entering the new millennium, Sooraj Barjatya was one of the most sought-after and successful young filmmakers in Hindi cinema. All his three directorials till then — Maine Pyar Kiya (1989), Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! (1994), and Hum Saath – Saath Hain (1999) were blockbusters, one bigger than the other. But then came his first setback, Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon (2003), also his first film without Salman Khan aka Prem. “It did feel like I got lost somewhere. But that’s exactly why Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon is very close to my heart,” says Barjatya on SCREEN Spotlight. In another edition, filmmaker Kunal Kohli revealed that the film’s lead actor, Hrithik Roshan, was also unsure how his rather loud character in the romantic comedy would be received, compelling him to give Kohli’s 2004 hit rom-com Hum Tum a pass. “We’re all humans. We all learn. All our failures teach you a lot. That’s also required once in a while so that we remain grounded. If Main Prem …

He’s made a career out of that genre, right from his 1989 directorial debut Maine Pyar Kiya, starring Salman Khan and Bhagyashree, to his upcoming release, Yeh Prem Mol Liya, starring Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari Wagh. In fact, he reveals that he makes a phone call to any filmmaker who comes up with a family-oriented subject in the otherwise violent cinema landscape of today. “All subjects should get made but this type of content is very important,” says Barjatya on SCREEN Spotlight, adding, “So that we can tell the younger generation to trust, hope, and support each other otherwise we’re all getting divided.

Published by Parlour News

The collaborations between Sooraj Barjatya and Salman Khan have shaped some of Hindi cinema’s most beloved family entertainers. Their partnership began with Maine Pyar Kiya (1989), which established Salman as a romantic hero and revived the musical love story format. They reunited for Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! (1994). It was a cultural phenomenon that redefined the Bollywood wedding film, followed by Hum Saath‑Saath Hain (1999) and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015). Across these films, Salman’s recurring “Prem” persona, as an earnest, family-oriented and idealistic man, became central to Barjatya’s signature world of warmth, tradition and wholesome romance. During an exclusive interview with Filmfare, we got the opportunity to ask the filmmaker whether a possible collaboration with his favourite “Prem”, aka Salman Khan is on the cards. When asked about if fans can expect a film soon, he said, “Nothing as of now. We have to wait for the correct time.” However, while answering another question about his career trajectory, Barjatya opened up if he had a formula in choosing the right actors for the right …

The treatment of female characters in mainstream Hindi cinema has evolved over the years. From being just supporting roles to leading roles. Filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya recently opened up about the same, saying his own stories are a testament of how women have transitioned from being just homemakers in the 90s to being career-oriented working women now. Sooraj Barjatya says Hum Aapke Hain Koun cannot be made today For the unversed, Barjatya’s new show, Sangamarmar, starring Sheen Savita Dass, shows a woman taking over her father’s business after his untimely death. Talking about the story, the filmmaker told Hindustan Times, “Where stories are concerned, agar main aaj bhi sochoon ki ghar pe baithengi ladies (the women will sit at home), that is over.

A lot has been said and written about the treatment of female characters in mainstream Hindi cinema. From being relegated to supporting roles to leading roles, female protagonists have been portrayed in diverse ways in Bollywood films.

It is the era of alpha males on screen, many Indian film viewers have noted. What began with Kabir Singh has only been emboldened of late by hypermasculine, aggressive men, even in love stories. This has led many with rose-tinted glasses to hark back to a time when romantic leads in Hindi films were sensitive, and the protagonists of Sooraj Barjatya films – from Vivaah to Hum Aapke Hain Koun – are among those cited as examples of ‘ideal’ men. But the filmmaker himself feels that his Prem (the name he used for all his protagonists) is not much different from Kabir Singh. Ranbir Kapoor in Animal, Salman Khan in Hum Aapke Hain Koun, and Shahid Kapoor in Kabir Singh depicted various shades of love. Sooraj Barjatya on gentle romantic leads Barjatya recently saw the release of his new show, Sangamarmar, on JioHotstar. The romantic drama stars Sourabh Raaj Jain and Sheen Savita Das as a couple whose love grows over 25 years despite them not being married. Ahead of the release of the show, …
