Let’s be realistic. Salman Khan’s image is anything but filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya’s Prem character on-screen. However, the filmmaker seems to have some other ideas about the actor and he shares his plan to cast Salman Khan in his next Sooraj Barjatya project.
However, the next film according to the filmmaker, will stay away from his usual style of family movies. In a recent interview, Barjatya discussed his plans saying, “The next project is on the cards, and it will be on a different more mature level.”
He shared that he is already working on his latest project with Salman Khan in mind. It was Sooraj Barjatya films that created the iconic character of ‘Prem,’ aka Salman Khan’s reel character in his films. The handsome, ever-loved, and adored character who is shy yet charismatic enough to win the hearts of women of any age.

This character made Salman Khan the heartthrob in the 90s. However, the next film of Sooraj Barjatya will stray away from such gentle characteristics and instead focus on mature content. Appropriate choice of film content based on how Salman Khan’s image in films has changed over the years into a macho persona.
Barjatya shared that Khan is “on the cards” for his next massive project and he is set to create a newer version of ‘Prem’ that aligns with Salman’s current age and image. So, let’s wait and see how 1989’s Maine Pyar Kiya ‘Prem’ transformed into Sooraj Barjatya’s next film hero.
