The family values remain the same, they will always be important. (Sooraj Barjatya, The filmmaker with his frequent collaborator Salman Khan) ‘I must make what I believe in’ I just realised that I’m more nervous this time than when I was starting my journey. But, it’s also after 30 years that we have another director from our family. I told Salman that once it’s done, I will start working on our film. I’m happy that both Avnish and Abhishek have kept the sur of Rajshri Productions because anyone going to see our film will be satisfied with it, that’s important for us. Like my father allowed me to make films my way, I’m guiding Avnish, in case he requires anything from me, I’m always there for him. The love story is a bit complicated that’s his zone, it’s his choice. Since the last one year, he has been working on the script and this month, we’ll lock it. He told me he wanted to become a filmmaker and assisted me on Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (PRDP). But my younger son Avnish, who wanted to pursue CA (chartered accountancy), gave it up. I was supposed to start my film with Salman (Khan) and I had spoken to him, too. (Maine Pyar Kiya Hum Saath-Saath Hain Hum Aapke Hain Koun.! Prem Ratan Dhan Payo Vivah Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon) Taking the tradition forward He wanted some of the old songs, but I asked him to retain his own language. I was certain that the director should not follow my way. Also, I was keen that I wanted one film that doesn’t have my trademark style. I was involved as a creative producer throughout, because I wanted the correct launch for Abhishek and the actors.
It’s a story of pure friendship, but told in a different way. So, if we are not judging chacha, chachi, etc, why are you judging our friends? When you see this, you feel this is a nice subject to make a movie on. but these boys say, when we lose our mobiles, these are the guys (our pals) who come with us to the police station. Their parents are worried, ki inke dost kaise hain, whether they are drinking and partying. If his bhabhi is busy, he has to ask her to make time for him… There is aupcharikta (a certain formality) now.Īlso, when I look at my kids and nephews jo Gwalior se Mumbai aaye hain. We’re at work and indifferent, so we celebrate by ourselves… Then he explained that in his family too, he can’t call up anyone anytime to discuss his problems or share something. He wondered how many people spend time with their parents on birthdays, anniversaries… Not many of them. These are the people who come in to stand by you. But the language had to be different from mine.Ībhishek Dixit, who has been a creative director in marketing, came to me with the concept about how today, friends are more like family. For a while, I was thinking about making a movie where we could talk a bit about our values. My films are family fare and I know my audience is 35-plus. My last production was Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (PRDP) in 2015. Hum Chaar is a different take on friendship The 54-year-old, who has played an instrumental role in taking Rajshri Productions to the masses and classes alike, talks to us about being a creative producer for Hum Chaar, mentoring his younger son, Avnish, who will soon make his directorial debut and helming movies that he believes in. The filmmaker, who has given cinegoers blockbusters like Maine Pyar Kiya (1989), Hum Aapke Hain Koun.! (1994), Hum Saath-Saath Hain (1999), Vivah (2006) and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015), is known for making clean, family entertainers that cater to audiences of all ages. The film teaches everyone that small happiness lies in the family and also helps us in understanding the value of parents and family in its unique way.With his quiet demeanour and soft-spoken nature, Sooraj Barjatya in a way epitomises the values that his movies espouse.
