The 60-year-old took to Twitter on Thursday and shared photographs of himself along with Barjatya.

"Have said this many times. Saying it again, 'This man is a GENIUS'. @prdp is MINDBLOWING. Jai Ho.:) #SoorajBarjatya," he tweeted.

"Prem Ratan Dhan Payo", which released on Thursday, is a romantic drama film. It also features Sonam Kapoor, Swara Bhaskar, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Armaan Kohli among others.

This is the third time after "Hum Aapke Hain Koun...!" and "Vivah" that Barjatya and Anupam teamed up for a film.
