Today at the trailer launch of Uunchai in Mumbai, the director Sooraj Barjatya uncovered some inside stories behind the making of the movie. Sooraj shared that he refused to work with Salman Khan. As per the reports, the Bhai Jaan of Bollywood expressed his wish to work with the director again. Salman Khan and Sooraj Bhajataya are one terrific actor-director duo. From Maine Pyar Kiya to Hum Aapke Hai Koun, Hum Saath Saath Hain to Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, all of them were blockbusters. However, this time, the director has made his comeback without his lucky charm.
When asked about working with Salman Khan again, the director shared, "Iss mein maine sab bandhan tod diye. Ek charm tha Prem... rakho toh chal jaye, but ismein sab bandhan tod diye maine. The Vivah director further revealed, "When I told Salman (Khan) that I am making this film, he said, 'why are you going to hills to make this film?' Then later he expressed, 'I can do this film' but I said no because I wanted a different cast".
