I am very lucky to have Salman on board forHero and Aamir Khan for Katti Batti, ” says Nikhil Advani who first got a chance to bond with Salman when the director made Salaam-e-Ishq. It’s a good feeling to see many people watching you.

“They feel you should know everything before coming into the industry”. I like people who symbolise gen-next, that’s what Sooraj stands for.

With her debut film Hero, which also marks the launch of Sooraj Pancholi, less than two weeks away from release, Athiya Shetty has butterflies fluttering in her stomach. “Hero. Am sure u will make ur dads proud”. And now that debutant Sooraj’s film is ready to hit the screens in about a fortnight and Kangana is the reigning queen of B-town, it would be interesting to know if these two young actors would like to be paired together some time in the near future.

Daddy’s little girl, then and now.

As a kid, Shetty says she once contemplated being an architect much like her maternal grandfather IM Kadri, whose firm designed the iconic building Nehru Centre.

The film’s leading lady Athiya Shetty feels the same. It was from there that his mentor Salman Khan picked him up and gave him a new lease of life with Hero.

Sooraj Pancholi and Tiger Shroff have been best buddies since they were 15. If Sooraj had to pick the flawless debut by a star kid he would choose Hrithik Roshan’s Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai.
