Salman Khan has had multiple flops in the past years, with the latest being Sikandar. However, the actor is looking forward to a brighter career with the opportunities that lie ahead.

Speaking to the media portal, the filmmaker revealed, "There are some subjects that you are not able to take forward; you are unable to crack the climax or get the character, so till all of this does not come together, it doesn't make sense to make a film.”
Barjatya further said, "I've barely made seven films, but this is what I've decided to do, and till the time I don't feel convinced, I won't make it. So, I'm so happy that Salman Bhai is with me, and today to make something relevant and fresh for him at his age is a bigger challenge.”
The director and the actor’s last venture together was Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, which also starred Sonam Kapoor, Anupam Kher, and Swara Bhaskar.
Meanwhile, speaking of Salman Khan’s recent struggles with the film, Barjatya said, "Everyone should be allowed to make a mistake, to learn, because that is what his life is. We have to allow each other to grow; we should not be so harsh."
Concluding his statement, Sooraj Barjatya asked the audience to go easy on Khan, claiming that he is going to come back in a very big way.
