Salman Khan confirms collaborating with Sooraj Barjatya on a film

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, who is presently busy promoting his latest film Antim: The Final Truth (2021), has confirmed returning to the family genre with a film that acclaimed filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya will direct.

During a media interaction on Sunday, when he was asked if he is willing to return to that genre, he said, “Yes, Sooraj’s film will come soon. No one can make the kind of films that Sooraj does and he will get a script for me soon. That film will happen once Sooraj comes to me.”


Salman Khan and Sooraj Barjatya have previously collaborated on such blockbusters as Maine Pyar Kiya (1989), Hum Aapke Hain Koun (1994), Hum Saath Saath Hai (1999), and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015). Talks about them collaborating again on a project have been around for quite some time now. But with Khan confirming the development, fans can rest assured that their reunion is indeed happening.

Khan has also been also missing from the comedy genre for a long time. When asked about making a return to the said genre, the Dabangg (2010) actor said that he was on a hunt for a good script that takes comedy to the next level. “Yes, that hunt has come to an end. A comedy film is coming soon… You will know it soon,” he said.

Meanwhile, Salman Khan next will be seen in Yash Raj Films’ Tiger 3. As the title suggests itself, the film marks the third installment of the super successful franchise Tiger. Just like Khan, Katrina Kaif also returns to reprise her role in the much-awaited installment. Tiger 3 is expected to arrive next year in 2022.

How Southeast Asian storytelling became one of Netflix’s fastest-growing global pillars

Highlights:

  • Netflix says global viewing of Southeast Asian titles rose almost 50% between 2023 and 2024.
  • Premium VOD revenue in the region reached £1.44 billion (₹15,300 crore) last year, with 53.6 million subscriptions.
  • Netflix holds more than half of the region’s total viewing and remains its biggest investor in originals.
  • New rivals, including Max, Viu and Vidio, are forcing sharper competition.
  • Local jobs, training and tourism are increasing as productions expand across the region.

Last year, something shifted in what the world watched. Global viewership of Southeast Asian content on Netflix grew by nearly 50%, and this isn't just a corporate milestone; it’s a signal. Stories from Jakarta, Bangkok, and Manila are no longer regional curiosities. They are now part of the global mainstream.

The numbers tell a clear story. Over 100 Southeast Asian titles have now entered Netflix’s Global Top 10 lists. More than 40 of those broke through in 2024 alone. This surge is part of a bigger boom in the region’s own backyard. The total premium video-on-demand market in Southeast Asia saw viewership hit 440 billion minutes in 2024, with revenues up 14% to £1.44 billion (₹15,300 crore). Netflix commands over half of that viewership and 42% of the revenue. They have a clear lead, but the entire market is rising.
