With Sooraj Barjatya keen to attempt a 'young love story', industry comics hazard a guess on how the film could turn out - all in jest though

Family values have always been at the core of Sooraj Barjatya films, but now the director wants to experiment with concepts that appeal to today's youth - something like a 'young love story'.
This was revealed at a recent press conference where he thanked "all the big families" for watching his latest venture, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo which has already grossed Rs 250-crore worldwide.

"There are a lot of youngsters who see me as an uncle and I hope I will appeal to them. But, someone needs to make these films (family dramas) too. I will try my level best to make a young love story. But I really don't know what the youth wants," said Barjatya.
hitlist invited a few funnymen to imagine what a love story a la Sooraj Barjatya would be like. Here's what they had to say:
Suresh Menon, comedian
It will be about a big, fat wedding at a cyber cafe with a title like Prem Ratan Facebook Pe Likes Payo or Hum Aapke Hain Wi-Fi. Salman or Saif Ali Khan can play a "teen" in it.
Sahil Shah, stand-up comic
The boy and girl will fall in love at the age of 45, because that's how old the Indian youth is in a Barjatya film. Besides, the boy and girl will get only to fourth base, which is touching the feet of elders.

Sorabh Pant of East India Comedy
I think the young heroine's mother would date the young hero's father in Sooraj Barjatya's love story. I cannot think of any younger concept. But, I am also interested to watch an action film made by him.
Krushna Abhishek, actor-comedian
The hero will propose to the girl only outside a Hanuman temple. The film would be shot at Haridwar, Badrinath and Shirdi. The costumes will be mind blowing, but they will only be pure cotton kurtas and pyjamas.
