Salman Khan rallies behind Sooraj Pancholi's cinematic comeback in 'Kesari Veer'

Mumbai: Bollywood titan 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.

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.

Taking to his Instagram handle, the Tiger actor shared a picture with Sooraj and played the 'Main Hoon Hero Tera' song in the background. Dropping the photo, he captioned, "Abhi raat hai, subah Sooraj chamkega (Translation: It's still night, but soon the sun will shine bright again) @soorajpancholi."
