Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, who is launching newcomers Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty in his production 'Hero', hosted the first screening of the film at his farmhouse in Panvel on Tuesday.

Salman Khan tweeted the image and captioned, "Friends families , family friends hai family."

Salman's close family and friends were invited for the screening. Parents of the lead pair -- Suniel and Mana Shetty, Aditya Pancholi and Zarina Wahab -- were also present to watch their children's debut.


Directed by Nikhil Advani of 'Kal Ho Na Ho' fame, the movie is a remake of Subhash Ghai's 1983 film of the same name, which starred Jackie Shroff.

The film is slated to release this Friday.
