Successful filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya has been rumoured to be writing a script that will be a sequel to the 90s hit film Hum Aapke Hain Kaun.
According to our sources, the sequel will pick up the story 15 years after Prem (Salman Khan) and Nisha (Madhuri Dixit) got married. The pair have two young kids of their own and are living a happy family life. However, problems arise when a runaway bride (Amrita Rao) seeks shelter in their house. Things get even worse when she falls in love with their clean-freak neighbor (Shahid Kapur). The story has a further twist when the bride's would be groom (John Abraham) turns up and woos her back.
Before putting pen to paper, Sooraj made sure that the stars of the film were onboard and got them to agree to star… once the script was completed. Salman Khan has already set aside dates in 2009 for the film so that they match up for the time when Madhuri Dixit's children are on school vacation.
Amrita Rao and Shahid Kapur are more than happy to be working with Sooraj after the super hit film Vivaah. Amrita says, "It will be fantastic to work with Soorajji as he is family. He sent me a sweet SMS just a few days back when he was reminded about my character Poonam (in Vivaah) while watching the rushes of their latest production, Ek Vivaah Aisa Bhi."
Sooraj has refused to talk about the project, saying, "It's not true. Thank you."
Hum Aapke Hain Kaun is one of the biggest grossers ever in the history of Hindi cinema. Made on a budget of around Rs.60 million, it went on to collect over Rs.650 million in India and over Rs.150 million overseas.
