In a short span of time, Sooraj Pancholi, who makes his debut with Hero, has garnered an impressive fan following.

What's also commendable is that his popularity extends across various social media platforms. From writing and blogging about him to posting his images, netizens are supporting the young actor in every possible way.

Even during his inter-city tours for the promotion of this Nikhil Advani-directed film, fans have been turning up in big numbers to show their support for him. While he agrees that all this is extremely overwhelming,Sooraj concedes that this popularity and fanfare has also put some pressure on him.That's all the more reason for him to put in more effort and stand true to the expectations of his followers. "It's very humbling when you're welcomed with open arms, especially when you have just begun your career," he sums up.

Hero, produced by Salman Khan Films and Mukta Arts, and released worldwide by Eros International, opens in cinemas on September 11.
