Mumbai: Bollywood star Salman Khan has publicly extended his unwavering support to actor Sooraj Pancholi, who is poised to stage a significant comeback with the historical epic ‘Kesari Veer: Legends of Somnath’, marking Sooraj’s return to the silver screen after a prolonged hiatus.
Salman Introduced Pancholi
Notably, it was Salman Khan who introduced Pancholi to the industry in 2015 with the romantic action-drama ‘Hero’, a project he not only backed but also contributed to musically by lending his voice to the film’s signature ballad, ‘Main Hoon Hero Tera’ and made a cameo appearance in the film.
Now, nearly a decade later, Salman has once again stepped forward to bolster Pancholi’s confidence as he re-enters the industry.
