The film’s performance in metro cities like Mumbai was also pretty good as it isn’t facing any competition with other releases.

Given the tremendous support given by actor Salman Khan, it isn’t a surprise that the film has managed to gain a good collection on its first day. Although, the collections on Saturday will determine where ‘Hero‘ leads ahead. In order to keep the graph higher, the film does not have a huge margin to cover, but needs to keep its pull intact. With a steady start the movie is expected to cover a good amount in the weekend.

Produced by Salman Khan, ‘Hero‘ has been directed by Nikhil Advani. It is a remake of Subhash Ghai‘s directed 1983 film of the same name, which starred Jackie Shroff.
