Salman Khan to hunt for real life unsung heroes

Bollywood star Salman Khan turns 44 this Sunday and as he awaits the release of his forthcoming period film ‘Veer’, he has launched a nationwide hunt for unsung heroes as to connect with the masses and also promote his flick.

This step comes as a natural following from Aamir Khan’s Bharat Darshan programme for the promotion of ‘3 Iditos’. So, there comes a hunt from Sallu Bhai for young men and women who have performed heroic deeds which the nation doesn’t know about.

Veer producer Vijay Galani confirmed the news saying, “You’ve heard correctly. Salman is launching a contest to find real-life unsung heroes. Since he has played the hero so often on screen, he feels real-life heroes deserve to be brought out of anonymity. We’ll be going to the remotest corners of India to select these unknown heroes. Finally one of them will be given the Veer cup personally by Salman at a function in Mumbai.”

’Veer’ has newcomer Zarine Khan opposite Salman. Other stars in the pivotal roles include former Miss UK Lisa Lazarus, Mithun Chakraborty and Jackie Shroff along with Sohail Khan and Bharat Dabholkar.
