Family values have always been at the core of Sooraj Barjatya films, but now the director wants to experiment with concepts that appeal to today's youth &mdash; something like a 'young love story'.
This was revealed at a recent press conference where he thanked "all the big families" for watching his latest venture, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo which has already grossed Rs 250-crore worldwide.

"There are a lot of youngsters who see me as an uncle and I hope I will appeal to them. But, someone needs to make these films (family dramas) too. I will try my level best to make a young love story. But I really don't know what the youth wants," said Barjatya.
hitlist invited a few funnymen to imagine what a love story a la Sooraj Barjatya would be like. Here's what they had to say:
Suresh Menon, comedian <img title="Suresh Menon" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/2015/nov/19Suresh-Menon-1.jpg" alt="Suresh Menon" /> It will be about a big, fat wedding at a cyber cafe with a title like Prem Ratan Facebook Pe Likes Payo or Hum Aapke Hain Wi-Fi. Salman or Saif Ali Khan can play a "teen" in it.
Sahil Shah, stand-up comic <img title="Sahil Shah" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/2015/nov/19Sahil-Shah-1.jpg" alt="Sahil Shah" /> The boy and girl will fall in love at the age of 45, because that's how old the Indian youth is in a Barjatya film. Besides, the boy and girl will get only to fourth base, which is touching the feet of elders.
Amrit Raj Gupta of Screenpatti <img title="Amrit Raj Gupta " src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/2015/nov/19Amrit-Raj-Gupta-1.jpg" alt="Amrit Raj Gupta " />Before marriage, the heroine will chat with the hero only on her family Whatsapp group. Or maybe, after dining at a pure vegetarian restaurant, the hero and heroine will ask for Gangajal instead of a finger bowl.
Sorabh Pant of East India Comedy <img title="Sorabh Pant " src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/2015/nov/19Sorabh-Pant-1.jpg" alt="Sorabh Pant " /> I think the young heroine's mother would date the young hero's father in Sooraj Barjatya's love story. I cannot think of any younger concept. But, I am also interested to watch an action film made by him.
Krushna Abhishek, actor-comedian <img title="Krushna Abhishek" src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/2015/nov/19Krushna-Abhishek-1.jpg" alt="Krushna Abhishek" /> The hero will propose to the girl only outside a Hanuman temple. The film would be shot at Haridwar, Badrinath and Shirdi. The costumes will be mind blowing, but they will only be pure cotton kurtas and pyjamas.
