Sooraj Barjatya Shelves Salman Khan Action Film Over Character, Climax Hurdles

Barjatya cites unresolved character/climax issues for dropping a planned Salman Khan action film.

Overview

  • The longtime collaborator said creating something relevant and fresh for the 59-year-old star is a bigger challenge at this stage.
  • He emphasized he will not proceed unless fully convinced, noting he has made only seven films and prioritizes narrative clarity.
  • Barjatya and Khan previously delivered major hits including Maine Pyar Kiya, Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!, Hum Saath Saath Hain, and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo.
  • Both have moved to new projects: Barjatya is preparing a family drama featuring Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari, while Khan has begun the war drama Battle of Galwan.
  • Battle of Galwan is directed by Apoorva Lakhia and draws on the 2020 Galwan Valley clash, and Barjatya expressed confidence that Khan will stage a big comeback despite recent underperformers.
