In 2003, Sooraj Barjatya came out with the romantic musical Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon starring Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, and Abhishek Bachchan. On the latest episode of Mid-day’s Sit With Hitlist series, Sooraj sheds light on the film that became a meme material with the advent of social media. Hrithik played the role of Prem Kishan, who falls in love with Sanjana essayed by Kareena. His extremely energetic persona continues to leave viewers in splits. 

Sooraj Barjatya was not himself during the film 

After Hum Saath Saath Hain, Sooraj felt films were getting modernised and felt like he was being left behind. In a bid to break away from the image, he came up with Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon. He shared, “I had the best cast. I feel so guilty towards Hrithik, Abhishek, and Kareena because they gave me everything but while making that film I realised I am not there, it is not me.”
