Sooraj Barjatya, a prominent filmmaker from the 1990s, is set to make his debut on OTT. He will be directing a family drama titled 'Badaa Naam Karenge' for SonyLIV. The show is scheduled to stream on the platform starting from Diwali this year.
It was with the romantic musical 'Maine Pyar Kiya' (1989), starring Salman Khan and Bhagyashree in lead roles, that Bharjatya rode to fame in Bollywood. The stunning success of the movie made him a star director to reckon with in the Hindi film industry. The musical romantic drama 'Hum Aapke Hain Koun' (1994) became the first making in India to gross over Rs 100 Cr. The family drama 'Hum Saath-Saath Hain' (1999) disappointed many who had high expectations from it. However, it emerged as the highest-grossing Hindi film of the year, thanks to its ensemble star cast.
In 2022, the director's 'Uunchai' disappointed many although it was deemed heart-touching by a section of the audience. The adventure drama featured Amitabh Bachchan, Anupam Kher and others. His 2015 romantic drama 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo' starred Salman Khan, Sonam Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Anupam Kher. Himesh Reshammiya was its music director.
