Subhash Ghai says that Suraj Pancholi is a wonderful actor
Mumbai:
Filmmaker Subhash Ghai has said that he and actor Salman Khan will stand by their commitment to launch Suraj Pancholi in the remake of Hero.
Ghai has further said that model-actress Jiah Khan's suicide case will have no bearing on the newcomer's debut.
Speculation was rife that Suraj, son of actor Aditya Pancholi, would not be a part of the remake after police booked him for allegedly abetting actress Jiah Khan's suicide, but Ghai denied the reports.
"Suraj is not at fault and why should he be punished for it? He is a wonderful and potential actor. We had committed to him and we will stand by it. How can we go back? Salman is not the person who will go back on his words," he said.
Actor Suniel Shetty's daughter Athiya will be launched opposite Suraj in the remake of Hero which was directed by Ghai in 1983 which featured actors Jackie Shroff and Meenakshi Sheshadri in the lead roles.
"We are making a film with him (Suraj). I don't know when it will go on floors. I have to discuss it with Salman. But definitely we are making the film with Suraj," Ghai said.
