Here’s a refined breakdown of the developments around Sooraj Barjatya’s upcoming film — and the question of whether Rajshri Productions is once again collaborating with Mahaveer Jain Films.
✅ What we know
-
Sooraj Barjatya’s next directorial (yet untitled) will star Ayushmann Khurrana in the lead role of “Prem”. (India Today)
-
The female lead is Sharvari. (Box Office Worldwide)
-
The ensemble includes veteran actors such as Anupam Kher, Seema Pahwa and Supriya Pathak. (PINKVILLA)
-
The shoot is reported to begin November 2025, with an approximate six-month schedule. (PINKVILLA)
-
The film is expected to release in the second half of 2026. (Moneycontrol)
-
The genre: a family-centred romantic drama/comedy rooted in the clash or mix of traditional (joint) vs nuclear family systems. (India Forums)
⚠️ What is not fully confirmed
-
While Rajshri Productions is the longtime home for Sooraj Barjatya’s films, the specific mention that Mahaveer Jain Films joins again specifically for this upcoming film is not clearly verified in the publicly available reporting as of now.
-
Earlier: Rajshri Productions had partnered with Mahaveer Jain Films for the film Uunchai (so the relationship exists). (Bollywood Hungama)
-
But the recent stories about the new film do not explicitly state Mahaveer Jain Films is coming on board for this one.
So, the statement "Rajshri Productions joins hands with Mahaveer Jain Films again for Sooraj Barjatya’s next" remains plausible given history, but not publicly confirmed with reliable naming in the sources I found.
🔍 My analysis & takeaway
-
From a strategic perspective: it makes sense for Rajshri to partner with a strong producer like Mahaveer Jain Films if they want scale, especially given the family-entertainer genre which Barjatya is known for.
-
The fact that many reports emphasise “script locked”, “ensemble cast”, “shooting start in Nov” suggests the film is well-advanced, so production partners are likely already secured — hence the statement could be accurate but just not yet widely reported.
-
For fans of Barjatya’s style: Having Ayushmann and Sharvari is a fresh pairing (versus his earlier work with e.g. Salman Khan). It signals perhaps a more modern take on his trademark “Prem”-style heroic romance.
-
The timing: Beginning in November 2025 means production through early 2026, which aligns with a release in latter 2026. So the schedule seems consistent with big-home-studio launch style.
If you like, I can check for recent trade-reports (past few days) to see if there’s a definitive confirmation of Mahaveer Jain Films’ involvement, and also check for any update on the official title of the film or first look. Would you like me to do that?
