Hero starring Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty is a remake of Subhash Ghai?s hit 1983 movie by the same name. With a lanky Jackie Shroff and a beautiful Meenakshi Sheshadri in the cast, the film was a big hit. Salman Khan hoped to recreate the same magic with Sooraj and Athiya in the remake that released on September 11 but it couldn?t manage much. Guess had they stuck to the original choice for the film, it would have created history. What we are talking about? Would you believe if we say Sooraj wasn?t supposed to do this film in the first place but Salman Khan himself? You might not but it is a fact.
