Salman Khan’s home production film Hero that is a remake of Subhash Ghai’s hit film Hero is in the news again after a break.

Actress and friend Jacqueline Fernandez who worked with Salman in the super hit movie Kick was supposed to do an item number in the film. The lady with the looks to kill agreed to do the item song on Salman’s insistence.

However, recent shutterbugs say that the item song starring Jacqueline has been dropped.

According to the sources close to the makers, the film went on to become unnecessarily lengthy and the movie looked fine without the added song.

The remake Hero is being directed by Nikhil Advani and produced by Salman Khan.

Another highlight of the movie will be the launch of two star kids in the industry namely, Sooraj Pancholi son of actor Aditya Pancholi and Aathiya Shetty daughter of actor Suniel Shetty.

Newbie Sooraj Pancholi has recently been in news for Jiah Khan’s murder case, and has been away from the limelight for the same reason. The new lad has chosen to remain silent and let his film do all the talking.

Movie Hero is to be released on July 3 this year. Even though the date of release is nearing fast there has been no update on the film’s first look or the trailer.

As far as Salman’s presence in the film is concerned the actor wont be seen in the film, if sources are to be believed.

Nevertheless, the Being Human star is leaving no stone unturned for these new kids and is providing as much assistance as he can.
