Salman Khan: Sooraj Pancholi Will Come Into My Slot

Aditya Pancholi’s son Sooraj Pancholi and Suniel Shetty’s daughter Athiya Shetty are debuting in Bollywood with Salman Khan’s production Hero, which is a remake of Subhash Ghai’s 1983 film of same name. Salman said at the event launch of Hero’s trailer, “Both are stars. They look good on screen. Suraj has a great endearing quality on screen. I think Sooraj will come into my slot. He is going to lessen the gap between me and him. He is going to push me”.

Salman wants both the newcomers to do well in their careers. The Kick star jokingly said, “You guys better do well or else I will be a punching bag. Both your dad's Aditya and Sunil will punch me”.

“One Sooraj (Barjatya) supported me all my life, so I can support another Suraj (Pancholi)”, said the Bodyguard.  Talking of Athiya, he said, “Athiya should work so hard that she should work with the young generation as well as with our generation. She should work with Shah Rukh, Aamir and me”. The film is slated to release on September 25.
