'Hum Apke Hain Koun' director breaks silence on Salman-Madhuri sequel

Hum Apke Hain Koun director Sooraj Barjatya is offering an inside glimpse into the classic film's sequel.

During an exclusive interview with the Times of India, the filmmaker expressed his interest in working with Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit again.

Sharing his unfiltered thoughts on making the sequel with the much-loved pair, Barjatya explained, “I would not want to make a sequel with them.

“If there is a good script with characters that suit them, I would work with Salman and Madhuri. After reaching a certain age, you trust a good film more than a star.”

On the professional front, Pinkvilla reported earlier that the 61-year-old is gearing up for his upcoming project with Ayushmann Khurrana.

A source close to the development revealed to the outlet, “Sooraj Ji was looking to cast someone who has an image among the family audiences, and who better than Ayushmann Khurrana to play the new-age Prem on the big screen?

"The duo has gelled well, and Ayushmann loved the world that Sooraj Barjatya is looking to create with his next.”

Staying true to his Indian roots, the untitled film is said to be a family romantic saga and will hit the screens in 2026.
