Salman Khan and Sooraj Barjatya Dropped Salam and Madhuri for Maine Pyar Kiya Sequel

Salman Khan's recent struggles at the box office, including the underperformance of his film Sikandar, may have raised questions about his future projects. However, filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya has made it clear that he would not cast Salman Khan in a potential sequel to their hit film Maine Pyar Kiya. According to Barjatya, he would prefer a fresh cast for the sequel, rather than reuniting with the original stars.

Barjatya's decision to move on from the original cast of Maine Pyar Kiya seems to be driven by his desire to create a new story with fresh faces. The filmmaker believes that Bollywood needs to go back to its roots and focus on simplicity and long-lasting romance. He emphasizes the importance of keeping the "Prince Charming" alive in films, suggesting that audiences desire meaningful relationships despite modern dating trends. While Barjatya is open to working with Salman Khan and Madhuri Dixit again, he would only do so if he finds a script worthy of their talent.

Salman Khan's recent films, including Sikandar, Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai, and Tiger 3, have not performed as well as expected at the box office. Despite recovering losses through digital rights, Sikandar's poor performance has been a setback for the superstar. Barjatya's comments on good films and his vision for romance in cinema offer an interesting perspective on the current state of Bollywood.

The future of Salman Khan's projects remains uncertain, but Sooraj Barjatya's views on storytelling and romance may inspire a new wave of films that focus on simplicity and meaningful relationships. As the film industry continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how filmmakers like Barjatya shape the narrative of romance and relationships on screen.
