Aditya Pancholi joins the star cast of Nikhil Advani’s Hero : Bollywood News

By now, we all know that Nikhil Advani is directing Hero, which is a remake of Subhash Ghai's 1983 blockbuster by the same name, which stars Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty in the lead and is being produced by Salman Khan.

The latest update is that Aditya Pancholi will now be playing the part of a notorious minister in the film. If reports are to be believed then, the story plot goes like this... in the film, Aditya spots Sooraj who earns his livelihood by selling newspapers at traffic junctions, in order to support his mother. And when Sooraj lands up in jail (for reasons unknown so far) after his mother's death, Aditya Pancholi bails him out and later adopts him and trains him in his nefarious activities.

The 80s version had Jackie Shroff playing the role of a goon who, along with his three friends, kidnaps the wealthy and pretty girl Radha played by Meenakshi Sheshadri, who later falls in love with him. Though the remake is said to have a resemblance with this version, we hear that, Nikhil Advani has changed the script by adding a contemporary touch to it.
