MUMBAI: Filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya has revealed he will be reuniting with Salman Khan for a family drama, the idea of which he has already discussed with the superstar.
Sooraj has colbartored with Salman, right from his debut 'Maine Pyaar Kiya' to 'Hum Aapke Hain Koun!', 'Hum Saath Saath Hain' and recently 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo'.
The director said currently he is consumed with work on his production, 'Hum Chaar' and work on the Salman film will begin much later.
Actor Salman Khan turned 53 today, and hosted a birthday bash at his farmhouse in Panvel, Navi Mumbai.
Along with family father Salim Khan, mother Salma, brothers Sohail & Arbaaz, sisters Arpita & Alvira, the who's who of Bollywood like Katrina Kaif, Sushmita Sen, Iulia Vantur among others, attended the private party.
Here's a look the intimate birthday party.
"Right now the focus is on 'Hum Chaar'. Then my younger son Avnish will debut as a writer-director with a film this year. It's a very big responsibility. After that I start writing my film with Salman," Barjatya told PTI.
When asked if the film will be on the lines of trademark Rajshri Productions—strong, rooted family drama—Sooraj said, "It's a family drama, but not about joint family. It's about husband and wife and I've already discussed the idea with Salman."
"Initially there were just talks but it was never discussed. My son is making a love story, a young film, so Salman doesn't fit in," he added.

There were also reports that the filmmaker was keen to have Salman feature in his son's debut but Sooraj said that is not happening."Initially there were just talks but it was never discussed. My son is making a love story, a young film, so Salman doesn't fit in," he added.
Dulquer Salmaan's "O Kadhal Kanmani" co-star Nithya Menen has also bagged her first Bollywood film - "Mission Mangal".
"In the past also, I was offered plenty of Hindi films. I just wanted to be as choosy with Hindi as I was with films in other languages that I have done. I wanted it (debut Hindi film) to be a really nice film," Nithya told IANS.
"I found this a nice character. I don't think we have done a film like this... you know, a space film," added the star, who made her debut as a lead actress with Kannada film "7 O'Clock" over a decade ago.
