Sooraj Barjatya on bringing family-oriented romantic dramas
Sooraj Barjatya was recently asked if Bada Naam Karenge (romantic and family-entertained) would find its place on OTT which is dominated by thriller and gangster dramas. This is when the veteran filmmaker highlighted that many people aren't happy watching gore.
"After the pandemic, a lot of people have moved on to the fire stick. But there are many who want to see something different, who are not happy reading subtitles or watching gore. I believe there is an audience for everything. So, why shouldn’t I make a romantic family drama? I think it’s the right time for us to enter with Bada Naam Karenge," he told the tabloid.
Barjatya added that he can bring family-viewing culture back with his new series, Bada Naam Karenge. He mentioned that the culture, where everyone watches content together, has to make a comeback.
"For my movies, youngsters would come less to theatres. But they’d come to show the film to their grandparents and parents. That is what we are aiming at," he shared.
