Wed Feb 05 16:15:49 UTC 2025: ## Sooraj Barjatya Returns to Family Drama with “Bada Naam Karenge”
**Mumbai, India** – Acclaimed filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya, known for his iconic family dramas like *Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!*, *Hum Saath Saath Hai*, and *Vivah*, is set to launch a new series, *Bada Naam Karenge*, on Sony LIV. The show, directed by Palash Vaswani (*Gullak*), promises a heartfelt look at modern Indian family dynamics.
Barjatya, in an exclusive interview with NDTV, explained his continued success in capturing the essence of family relationships across generations. He attributes his understanding to keen observation of everyday life, particularly interactions between young people and their families. He highlighted the complexities unique to Indian families, where children often prioritize avoiding parental disappointment, even if it means compromising their own desires.
*Bada Naam Karenge*, a project conceived in 2000 but fully realized in 2020, explores the experiences of young adults navigating their ambitions and relationships within the context of their families. The series will depict both the joys and challenges of family life, showcasing the complexities of intergenerational relationships and the inherent need for compromise.
Barjatya emphasizes the show’s focus on portraying authentic relationships rather than sensationalized narratives often seen in modern media. He contrasts *Bada Naam Karenge* with recent shows focusing on Gen Z romance, like *Mismatched* and *Bandish Bandits*, noting that his new series prioritizes innocence and wholesome family viewing, creating an experience suitable for all ages.
The show’s title, *Bada Naam Karenge* (We Will Make a Big Name), reflects the characters’ aspirations to make their families proud, a theme central to the story. Barjatya stated that the title was organically chosen, emphasizing authenticity over marketability, a hallmark of his storytelling approach.
*Bada Naam Karenge* will begin streaming on Sony LIV on February 7, 2025.
