Director Sooraj Barjatya will be helming a project featuring the fresh on-screen pairing of Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari Wagh.

Sooraj is renowned for making heartwarming films that resonate with Indian family values. Salman Khan has played the lead role in most of his films, including his debut movie Maine Pyar Kiya, Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!, Hum Saath Saath Hain, and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo — all of which were blockbuster hits.

Sooraj Barjatya on His Creative Approach

In a recent interview with PTI, he shared, 'I have this nervousness before the shoot of every film. This has been there even when I made my first film, Maine Pyaar Kiya, and it's still the same. As a creator, it's not about how much it will earn at the box office, it's about whether you're able to connect or not  with that thought or scene.'

'For me, whether it's a film or a show, everyone should feel that the world I'm creating is honest  it shouldn't look fake. Everyone should feel, ‘This is how my house is.’ That is my biggest challenge. I want to make what I know. It's important to make every kind of film, but it's especially important to make family films,' the 61-year-old director said.

Cast, Collaborations, and Release Details

The film will also feature Anupam Kher in a prominent role alongside Ayushmann Khurrana. This will mark the ninth collaboration between Sooraj Barjatya and Anupam Kher. The shooting is scheduled to commence in November 2025, and the film is slated to hit theaters in the latter half of 2026. Ayushmann Khurrana will take on the iconic role of Prem, usually portrayed by Salman Khan. Sooraj also praised him as a dedicated and fine actor.
