Salman Khan will design first look of Hero

Salman Khan, who is the producer of Nikhil Advani’s Hero, will be personally involved in designing the first look of the film that will present his two proud discoveries: Sooraj Pancholi and Aathiya Shetty.

So far the look of these newcomers has been fiercely guarded. “Salman didn’t want Sooraj or Aathiya to do any photo-shoots until the first look of Hero was out. They are not even allowed to go out for social events without permission from the production house,” says the source.

There are plans of revealing the film’s first look around Valentine’s Day. “There might be a week’s delay, because Salman has to find the time to design and approve the first look,” says the source.

The new release date for Hero has been locked as June 10. Earlier the film was supposed to release on Valentine’s Day. “The film could not be ready in time for that and Nikhil didn’t want to rush it.

They’re now releasing it on June 10, a week after Zoya Akhtar’s Dil Dhadakne Do,” says a source. The film will lock horns with Mohit Suri’s Vidya Balan-starrer Hamari Adhuri Kahaani that releases on the same day.
