Salman Khan and Sooraj Pancholi

Aditya Pancholi’s son Sooraj Pancholi could make a smashing entry in Bollywood as he had none other than Salman Khan guiding him. And well, once again, his godfather has come to his aide. Apparently, a film that was supposed to have Salman Khan in the lead would now have Sooraj Pancholi becoming the hero.

As per reports, Puri Jagannadh wrote a film for Salman, imagining him as the hero, but as the ‘Dabangg’ Khan is running on a tight schedule, the star suggested the filmmaker to cast Sooraj Pancholi instead. A source said, “Salman already has a packed slate of back-to-back projects lined up till the end of 2017 and has no dates to spare. So he urged Puri to write a commercial film along the lines of ‘Wanted’ for his protege Sooraj. For Salman, Sooraj is family. The two even partied together during Diwali when Salman was at a new resort in Goa with his family. He is a part of all his family gatherings and he wants the boy to get back into action, ASAP.”
