"This is a dream launch. I couldn't have better script than
Hero, better director than Nikhil sir, better producer than Salman sir and better co-star than Athiya Shetty. Salman sir never even came on sets to see how we were performing. But, he knew what's going on in the film. He has been an amazing mentor and the biggest support in our lives for sure," Sooraj said.
The newcomer said he has seen the super stardom of Salman since he was a child and finds himself and Athiya fortunate to share the platform with him.
"It is nothing new for me, when I see so many people shouting or screaming for him because I have seen Salman sir since I was young. We know people are crazy about him. I think we are very lucky to sit on a chair next to him," he said. (Also Read:
