For his debut OTT project, he teamed up with Ritik Ghanshani and Ayesha Kaduskar to create the drama series Bada Naam Karenge. In a recent conversation, Sooraj shared that he was encouraged to craft a story that echoes the spirit of Vivah and Hum Saath Saath Hain.

Sooraj emphasized that his understanding of what resonates with the audience, based on his observations, plays a key role in creating these compelling family stories, and he follows it with strong conviction.
