Sooraj Barjatya: Animal, Kabir Singh & Prem Are Same Man
2 Mar
Summary
- Barjatya sees parallels between his romantic heroes and intense film characters.
- He believes all male protagonists represent aspects of the same man.
- A new family entertainer with Ayushmann Khurrana is in the works.
Filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya has drawn parallels between the protagonists of his films and the hypermasculine characters found in recent movies like 'Animal' and 'Kabir Singh.' He stated that these diverse characters are essentially representations of the same men, each on a unique journey shaped by their upbringing and values.
Barjatya emphasized that the intense passion and power of love are common threads. He views the tender romance in his films, such as Prem's selflessness in 'Hum Aapke Hain Koun,' and the unwavering commitment in 'Vivah,' as just different expressions of male protagonists.
He explained that whether it's Kabir Singh, the lead from 'Animal,' or Prem, or even the protagonist from his new show 'Sangamarmar,' the depth of love they experience is what matters. Barjatya considers these portrayals as two sides of the same coin, united by the fundamental theme of love.
Meanwhile, Barjatya is preparing to direct a new family entertainer featuring Ayushmann Khurrana and Sharvari. This project is a collaboration between Rajshri Productions, Mahaveer Jain Films, and Anita Gurnani, following his 2022 film 'Uunchai.'
