Salman Khan, who had bought the rights to the film co-starring Sooraj Pancholi, will be making a cameo appearance. Sources say though Salman and his team had several names on their mind, it has been decided that Nikhil Advani will be helming this film.

Says a source, "The shooting will start in November as the film's still in its scripting stage. The pre-production work has already started. Khanna and Govinda are good friends with Salman, Suniel as well as Ghai."

Ghai, who's co-producing the remake, confirmed our story. Govinda however declined to confirm which character he would be essaying in the film. In Ghai's original Hero, Sanjeev Kumar played the heroine's brother while Shammi Kapoor played their father.
