Sooraj Barjatya, who is trying to take his banner forward
by making different kinds of movies, says he is keen to work
with Salman Khan again. The director-actor duo is known for
the superhits "Maine Pyar Kiya" and "Hum Aapke
Hain Koun".
"I would love to make another film with Salman, but there
is a little time before that happens, because I have to settle
a few things in our company and in our television wings. Then
I can take that up," Barjatya told IANS in an interview.
"There are lots of ideas in my mind, but I need to sit
down and write and give them shape," he added.
The 45-year-old first wielded the megaphone in 1989 for "Maine
Pyar Kiya" starring Salman and Bhagyashree. The film turned
out to be lucky for all three. Later in 1994, the director and
the actor teamed up again and set the cash registers ringing
with "Hum Aapke Hain Koun" that had Madhuri Dixit
in the female lead.
But their last outing together, "Hum Saath-Saath Hain",
couldn't replicate the bumper success of "Hum Aapke Hain
Koun".
Salman has made a special appearance in Barjatya's production
venture "Isi Life Mein", set to hit the screens Dec
24.
So does he consider Salman his lucky charm?
"No, it's not that. We asked Salman for this cameo not
because of that reason. It's just that we thought that we have
all newcomers in this film, so why not take blessings from senior
actors?" clarified Barjatya, whose last directorial venture
was the hit film "Vivaah", starring Amrita Rao and
Shahid Kapoor.
