By Murtuza Iqbal

Sooraj Barjatya is known for directing family dramas. His last directorial was the 2014 release Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, and there have been reports of him collaborating with Salman Khan again for a romantic film.


However, now, according to a report in Mid-day, Amitabh Bachchan will be starring in Barjatya’s next which will be a family drama. A source told the tabloid, "The film will roll in the first quarter of 2021, and mark the first collaboration of Bachchan and Barjatya, as actor and director. Bachchan had loved the script when it was narrated to him earlier this year. He plays the family patriarch."

The source also stated that Big B will start shooting for Ajay Devgn’s Mayday in January and after that, he will start Barjatya’s movie.

Talking about the movie with Salman, the source told the tabloid, "Sooraj is currently focusing on his film with Big B, and his son's debut. His next with Salman is likely to roll only in 2022.”

Meanwhile, Amitabh Bachchan has his kitty full with films like Brahmastra, Jhund (ready for a release), Chehre (ready for a release), Mayday, and Nag Ashwin’s next with Prabhas and Deepika Padukone.

The megastar was this year seen in Gulabo Sitabo which got a direct-to-digital release on Amazon Prime Video. While the film received a mixed response, Big B’s performance was appreciated a lot in it.

Saif Ali Khan opens up on his idea of success as Bollywood’s work hour debate takes centre stage

While much of Bollywood still chases longer hours and larger deals, Saif Ali Khan is thinking about something far simpler: getting home in time to tuck his kids in.

At a recent media event in Dubai, the actor opened up about what success means to him today. It’s not about box office numbers or prestige projects. It’s about showing up for the small moments at home, especially with his young sons, Taimur and Jeh. “Coming back to find them asleep, that’s not what I want,” he admitted. “If I can catch even thirty minutes with them at the end of the day, that’s worth more than a full day on set.”

Yorke, known for keeping a low profile on political issues, said he had remained silent until now out of respect for victims of the ongoing war. However, he acknowledged that his lack of public comment had led some to interpret his silence as complicity.
