JULY 11- Bollywood actor Salman Khan, who has taken aspiring actor Sooraj Pancholi completely under his wings, has asked Sooraj’s parents to refrain from discussing too much about his co-production starring their son.
Salman has roped in Sooraj as the lead role for his upcoming film ‘Hero’, a remake of Subhash Ghai’s 1983 blockbuster.
Sooraj Pancholi, who was in judicial custody for 21 days for allegedly abetting actor Jiah Khan’s suicide, met Salman, producer of the aforementioned film, last week in Hyderabad.
Salman who reportedly has been perturbed with the several media reports focusing on the lead actor of his upcoming film has requested Sooraj’s parents to keep mum about their son’s debut film.
A leading daily quoted a source as saying, “‘Hero’ was supposed to begin shooting in January 2014. It will now start in November 2013. Salman has asked the entire team to get into a work-mode immediately. The script is being re-worked to suit today’s times.”
If all goes well, Sooraj will reprise the title role in ‘Hero’ (essayed by Jackie Shroff in the original).
