Salman Khan and Sooraj Barjatya together have created the now famous character of Prem in films like Maine Pyar Kiya and Hum Aapke Hain Kaun.Sooraj’s last hit film Vivaah starred Shahid Kapur.
But this time round he approached Salman with the script for his next film – a sweet family drama in typical Rajshri style.
Salman sat through the story session, but felt that the lead of the film had to be someone younger and that he was not meant for the role.
However, Sooraj told him that he wanted Salman to do one of the support roles.
A source says, “Salman was not impressed with the role offered to him and said no straight off.
He also told Sooraj that come what may in his career, he would never do silly character roles. He feels that if he did so, he would be betraying his fans as they still want him to do the main leads.”
