Salman Khan Wanted To Play The Protagonist In 'Hero' Remake?

Salman Khan, who will be launching star kids Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty in upcoming film Hero, recently revealed that he had been keen to remake the film and star in it since many years.

It seems that years ago, Salman had asked Subhash Ghai to direct the remake to Hero with him playing the lead and they both had discussions about it, but ended up making Yuvvraaj instead. Salman said that he again broached the subject of the remake for launching Sooraj and got the rights from Ghai for the same.

Salman will be next seen in Sooraj Barjatya's Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and YRF flick Sultan.
