Salman is launching Sooraj with "Hero", the remake of Subhash Ghai's directed 1983 film of the same name.
"Hero", filmed by Nikhil Advani, which also makes the debut of Athiya Shetty, daughter of actor Suniel Shetty and will hit the screens tomorrow.
"It feels good but superstar is a big word. I am trying to be an actor first... To be a star it will take time. We can't be a star overnight. If he (Salman) sees that (superstar) in us then it is his greatness," Sooraj told PTI.
Salman launched Sooraj because he saw something in him as an actor.
"It was not obvious (for Salman to launch me) at all because he never told me that he would launch me ever. I got to know him only on the sets of 'Ek Tha Tiger'. People think it is a family thing so he launched me," Sooraj added.
