The 1999 film 'Hum Saath Saath Hain' had made a special place in the hearts of people. It was a family drama film in which Salman Khan, Saif Ali Khan and Mohnish Bahl played the role of three brothers. In this film, Salman Khan's character was named 'Prem', who was a very calm person. Saif Ali Khan played the character of 'Vinod', who was very playful and fun-loving.
Recently, the film's director Sooraj Barjatya revealed in an interview that Salman Khan did not like his role of 'Prem' as much as Saif Ali Khan's role of 'Vinod'. Actually, Salman felt that Vinod's role was closer to his personality. He also complained to Sooraj Barjatya that why he did not get Saif Ali Khan's role because it matched his style more.
Salman wanted to play Vinod's role
According to Sooraj Barjatya, when Salman felt that his role was small and quiet, he asked the director to give him the role of Vinod. Salman said that Vinod's playful and fun-loving character was more related to his real life. He insisted that he should do Saif's role. However, Sooraj Barjatya ignored Salman's words and kept him in the character of 'Prem'.
Why was Prem's role special?
Sooraj Barjatya believed that the character of 'Prem' was very important for the story of the film. This role needed an actor who could look calm and sensible, and he was confident that Salman would be perfect for this role. Even though the initial reaction of the audience was a bit disappointing about Salman's role, Sooraj Barjatya believed that Salman's character in the film was truly special.
Praise of Salim Khan
When the film was released, Salman's father Salim Khan praised Sooraj Barjatya's decision for the character of 'Prem'. He believed that Salman playing such a character proved to be a turning point in his career. After this, the character named 'Prem' became very special in Salman Khan's career and he started getting recognition by this name as well. Salman Khan may not have liked the character of Prem in 'Hum Saath Saath Hain', but the director of the film and his father Salim Khan believed that this role proved to be an important turning point for him. The film not only rocked the box office, but this character also created a new identity in Salman's career.
