In a Salman Khan inspired scene, Sooraj Pancholi crops off his hair for Hero

9 Aug 2014

For a scene, showing his torture in police custody in Nikhil Advani's Hero , Sooraj Pancholi will crop his hair exactly the way Salman Khan had done in his scenes of confinement in a mental asylum in Satish Kaushik's Tere Naam . This will be Advani's and Pancholi's homage to Salman Khan who is the producer of Hero re-make. Apparently, Nikhil Advani was keen to have Salman do a guest appearance in this film. But there was no role for the superstar.

The Tere Naam asylum look is the director and Sooraj's way of getting Salman into the picture. Says the source close to the project, "Sooraj was made to wait until the entire shooting was over, so he could crop off his hair for the jail sequence. The earlier plan was to shave off his head completely. But now Sooraj will sport Salman's look from Tere Naam for the scene of police torture."
