Anita Hassanandani's Hero to release on December 12th

Sooraj Pancholi, yes the boy involved in the Jiah Khan Suicide case, is all geared up for his entry in Bollywood. Son of veteran actors Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab will be making his first ever onscreen debut with Nikhil Advani's Hero. The buzz is that post his involvement in the much hyped mysterious suicide case of the Nishabd actress, Salman came to his rescue. The aspiring actor's drowning dreams of becoming an actor in Bollywood was floated by the Dabangg star, who offered him a helping hand.

Well, the generous star is quite known for his liberal guidance in setting up a career for upcoming actors and Sooraj is an add-on to the list. Dubbed as the remake of 1983's hit film by Subash Ghai, the movie will also mark the debut of Suniel Shetty's daughter Athiya Shetty.

The first look of the Hero has been released and here is the controversy boy all dressed to impress. The young star is all set to shed off the tainted image formed during the involvement in the case with his upcoming film. Sooraj Pancholi looks fabulous dressed as a sailor in all whites with wayfarers and a sailor cap. He looks rather cool in his pose while he pops a champagne bottle. Standing on a luxurious yatch, Sooraj looks mercurial hot in his half buttoned shirt giving a serious expression.

Reports are that the Pancholi boy has been undergoing rigorous workout to tone his physique for the film. Not only that, it was Salman who mentored throughout the project. What more would one want? We hope that Sooraj lives up to the expectations of his mentor and also impresses the audience mightily.

Scheduled for a December 12, 2014 release, Hero will also cast Govinda, Vinod Khanna, Kishor Kadam, Sharad Kelkar and Anita Hassanandani. Salman Khan will also make a special cameo appearance in the movie.
