If reports are to be believed Ayushmann Khurrana plays new age “Prem” in the Sooraj Barjatya’s directorial upcoming film.
For over three decades, Salman Khan immortalised the name Prem in Sooraj Barjatya’s timeless family dramas. Now, Ayushmann Khurrana is all set to carry that legacy forward onscreen. In an exclusive conversation the actor opened up on stepping into Salman’s iconic shoes,
Salman Khan has played the quintessential hero Prem in Sooraj Barjatya movies.
For more than three decades, Prem has been synonymous with Salman Khan. Starting from Maine Pyar Kiya to Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!, Hum Saath Saath Hain and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, the name Prem came to represent Sooraj Barjatya’s vision of the perfect Indian hero – who was earnest, loving, and family-rooted.
Ayushmann preps to bring Prem back to the big screen not as a replica but as a reimagined ideal man for a new generation and he agrees that expectations are sky-high.
