Salman Khan Turns Producer

Salman Khan is all set to don the producer's hat. The actor will begin his new role early next year.

 Salman will be producing the remake of Subhash Ghai's 1983 blockbuster, Hero.

 The original Hero had then-newcomers, Jackie Shroff and Meenakshi Sheshadri, in lead roles.

"Yes, I'm very happy that Hero is being remade, and Salman Khan and his team will certainly do a good job. The film will be directed by Nikhil Advani and it will go on floors by early 2014," IANS quotes Ghai.

Reportedly, the makers have signed on Aditya Pancholi's son Sooraj and Suniel Shetty's daughter Athiya to play the leads.
