Salman to launch his own Film Productions

Salman Khan is all set to take his
mammoth stardom to another level. He
will now launch his own production house 'Salman Khan Productions'
with a remake of Subhash Ghai's Hero, the which had
launched Jackie Shroff's career as a leading man.

With this project Salman would finally
branch out into independent production
house separate from the film produced by
his two brothers.

Says a source, "Salman's brothers Sohail
and Arbaaz have their own production
houses. While Salman would remain
closely associated with his brother's
production, he would now launch his own
production house 'Salman Khan Productions' with a remake of Hero.
Salman secured the remake rights from
his friend Subhash Ghai almost a year
back and confided in him that he would
start 'Salman Khan Productions' with
Hero."

Salman has also asked Subhash Ghai to
compose the music of the new-
millennium Hero. And since Ghai cannot
say no to Salman (nobody says no to
Salman) he has agreed to officially turn
composer. (A lot of Ghai's music in the past was ghost-composed by him).

It's reliably learnt that Ghai refused to
part ways with the title Hero for Jackie's
son Tiger's launch film. Producer Sajid
Nadiadwala who's launching Tiger had to
settle for the title Hero-panti.

Says a source close to the project, "The
people behind Tiger's launch including his
father Jackie, a close friend of Subhash
Ghai, has earnestly requested for the title
Hero. But Ghai had no choice but to turn
Jackie down because he was committed to giving over the rights of Hero to
Salman Khan. Salman told Subhash Ghai
he wanted to start his own production
house with a bang. He also confided in
Ghai that he would launch Aditya
Panscholi's son Sooraj and Suniel Shetty's daughter Athiya in his home
production."

Both the youngsters are currently
undergoing rigorous training to start
shooting for Hero. Said Sooraj's proud father Aditya
Panscholi, "We couldn't have hoped for a
better launch for our son."
