Salman Khan lends his voice to protégé Sooraj Pancholi for Hero

Salman Khan, who has turned producer to launch protégé Sooraj Pancholi in his upcoming movie Hero, is making sure that the debut venture is a roaring success.

From training Sooraj in building his physique to being with him at movie’s press conferences, Salman is using his experience in the industry as well as his star-status to create buzz for the movie.

A few days back, images of Salman in a recording studio went around the internet, forcing us to think if the ‘bhai’ of Bollywood has lent his voice to the film. This has indeed happened, as confirmed by a teaser of Salman singing a love song, which would make the title track of the movie.

The song is ‘Main Hoon Hero Tera’ and would feature the lead actors of the movie. The teaser was shared by Khan himself, on the social networking site Twitter.

The last time we heard Salman singing was for the song Hangover, from the movie Kick. However, it’s for the first time that Salman has sung for someone else, and in fact, he is the only Bollywood actor of his times to have done so. In the past, we have seen Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan singing portions of their songs for themselves.

Earlier, Shruti Haasan had lent her voice to Sonakshi Sinha for the song Joganiyan from the movie Tevar.

The movie has been directed by Nikhil Advani (the director of another upcoming movie Katti Batti) and is the remake of Subhash Ghai’s 1983 film of the same name. In the main lead, we would see Sooraj Pancholi, the son of yesteryear actor Aditya Pancholi, and Athiya Shetty, the daughter of actor Sunil Shetty.
