Sooraj Barjatya will start shooting the climax of his grandiose romance, Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, from August 16. He plans to wrap it up on September 10. The film explodes on screens this Diwali.

A palatial set has been erected at ND Studios, Karjat. Salman Khan and Sonam Kapoor canned a dreamy, romantic sequence over three days, starting Sunday in the midst of a controversy over Salman's tweets about Yakub Memon.

The 50-year-old actor rode a white stallion against a backdrop of rolling hills and meandering streams. "It was all love and mush on camera. Between shots, Sonam and Sallu shared fitness tips. They've been working out together too," informs a source. Sonam returned home on Wednesday and she will go back mid-August to shoot one last song with Salman.


Anupam Kher, who plays Diwan Sahab, told Mirror that on Tuesday night, Sooraj delivered a short speech, mentioning every actor by name. "He left everyone tear-eyed. Sooraj always does this when his film is nearing the end. It was my last day of shoot and as always, I was emotional," admits the veteran actor, who is flying to the US with co-star Neena Gupta, for two months with his play,Mera Woh Matlab Nahi Tha.

And Salman's recent release,Bajrangi Bhaijaan, is breaking boxoffice records. Will Prem replicate Pavan's success? "Prem will be three times more successful than Pavan," asserts Anupam.
