Highlights

  • Suraj Barjatya’s new family show ‘Bada Naam Karega’ is ready to knock on OTT
  • Trying to revive the stories of family values ​​through this show
  • Suraj praised Allu Arjun’s film ‘Pushpa’ and called it a family film
Filmmaker Suraj Barjatya, who always strengthened family values ​​and relationships through his/her films, is now knocking on OTT through his/her web series Bada Name. The special thing is that Suraj is also bringing a family show on OTT, which prefers topics like thriller and crime. In such a situation, we have a special conversation with Suraj Barjatya about the future of the family genre on screen in the changing times-Your films are known for family values ​​and ideals. Whereas, today such films are less visible on the screen, because somewhere there are no such joint families in the society. In such a situation, is it difficult to find audiences for your family films now?
See, time has changed. Today it is like a dream to make a show about a joint family that meets a joint family. Today I cannot even think about making ‘Hum Aapke Hain Kaun’, because today the family is no more, but the family genre is not limited to the joint family. There should be colloquial among themselves, heart should be found, but today I see, in many families there is no colloquiality among father and son. There is no colloquial brother and sister. Everyone is busy with themselves. This is the piece that needs to be given the importance of the family. Therefore, it is necessary to say good stories related to the family. See, time will change, but the basic values ​​about the family in India will not go anywhere. If you watch the film Pushpa too, it is such a great family film. She is the story of the relationship between mother-son, husband and wife, so nothing has changed. Yes, people tell us that it does not work, it does not work, but we have always worked opposite the stream. OTT But also the family show ‘Will make big names’ We are bringing, it is opposite. I think art develops only when going opposite the stream and I get this confidence because you see ‘Maine Pyaar Kiya’ has been 35 years, ‘Hum Aapke Hain Kaun’ has been 30 years. . There will be so many makers, who are still recognized for such old films, then somewhere these values ​​are going on from generation to generation.

You called ‘Pushpa’ a family film, ‘KGF’ was also the story of mother-son, both were super hit. In such a situation, have Hindi filmmakers forgot their roots in Realism?
I think we have to tell the stories of Common Man back in Hindi cinema. Those things will have to be shown which are understood by the common man. Like, hunger, love, respect. What do our makers or we make a mistake that we think that metropolis like Mumbai, Delhi is the whole of India. We should go out and see India. India is very different, from Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore. Just go towards Ghatkopar beyond Bandra, Andheri, then you will see India. You see foreign movies, learn technology from them, but we should tell the story of India. The same thing is missing. The second thing that I feel that marketing is getting a little more importance in Hindi cinema right now. The emphasis on creativity is being reduced. If we sit on business too, then it is advisable that if action is going on now, action will have to be made, but you have to think that the sun comes to make action? Will you be able to make something like Pushpa? If not, then you make what you know. Only then our cinema will become such a Phulwari, where there will be all kinds of flowers.

You have directed only 7 films in thirty five years. Why do you take so much time to tell your story?
Actually, the subject which is the subject takes a lot of time to write. It is very easy to say why took so much time in such a simple thing? But I think it is easy to make action, but we live in the family. In such a situation, if you go a little here and there, it will look fake. People will say that this is not my story, so show those characters in a very natural way that what does a lady do in the morning? If a man comes home, what is the mood, it takes time. I write my own films myself and the challenge for me is that every character, everything is so natural that you feel that our aunt, aunt is like this or my mother sometimes behaves like this.

These days there is a lot of trend of sequel-rimc. You have never thought of rebooting a classic film like ‘Maine Pyaar Kiya’?
The sequel talks many times, but according to me that story is complete. The talk of rebooting also arises, but now my sons are directing. If my elder son is handling Devansh OTT, then it can definitely be made in his/her mind, but I would not like to rebuild my own picture, because for me a life ends with every film.

There is also a lot of discussion about your film Prem’s wedding. Have you heard that you are also finding it difficult to find your new love?
No, it is not so. It takes a little time for every story to be made. In today’s environment, in today’s budget. Today, a lot of work has to be done on the budget, which is necessary, but I am very happy that next month I am announcing that film. It is a very cute subject, so it is awaited.

By the way, the audience wants to see Salman Khan as your love. Perhaps you also wrote this film keeping them in mind?
No, Salman Bhai is not getting fit in the film I am going to make. I will make a second film with him/her, but I am taking time to make that because now I have to write according to his/her age. Meaning, the same fun is there, but the character should suit his/her age. Therefore, it is taking some time to write.

You have been showing the story of love, family and relationships on the big screen. What was the reason for bringing OTT show this time?


Actually, we wanted to make something on OTT for a long time. We make films, make TV shows, but when they used to talk about bringing OTT shows, people used to say that the thriller runs here. In such a situation, when the channel head got a call that we need a family show for OTT, which brought the audience of marriage (Suraj Barjatya’s film) here, I was very happy because I believe that I believe that every kind of platform Things should be made. If there is a thriller on the OTT, action, high speed stories, then there should also be such simple stories. People are missing this simplicity today. In such a situation, we felt that this story would be best for OTT that two children go to the big city to name their parents, but do not fit in the culture there, then how do they make balance between their rites and modern society.
