Mumbai: Actor Aditya Pancholi, whose son Suraj is making his debut in Bollywood with the upcoming movie Hero, has advised him not to be like him if he wants to become a star.

"I told him not to follow me. Every father tells his son to be like him but I don't want him to be like me. If he doesn't follow me then he will become a star," Mr Pancholi said.

"I have made so many mistakes in life. My temper and behaviour, all this doesn't do any good to anyone. I told him to do the opposite of what I did in my life till now," he further added.

Suraj is making his acting debut with Salman Khan's latest home production Hero.

"I felt very happy and proud watching the trailer. This film happened because of Salman Khan and we are grateful to him. We are very happy and excited as this is a big break for him. We couldn't have asked for anything better. It is a big thing that he is launched by a superstar like Salman," he said.

At the trailer launch event on July 15, Suraj had tears in his eyes as he hugged Salman on stage.

When asked if his son is soft and emotional in real life Mr Pancholi said, "Yes he is like that in real life too."

The film also marks the debut of Suniel Shetty's daughter Athiya Shetty.

"She is a very hard working and sweet girl. She is a talented actress. They both look nice together," he said.

Aditya and Salman have acted in films like Baaghi, Bodyguard, Jai Ho and others.

When asked about Salman he said, "He is like my brother. We share a close bond since the beginning. I don't meet him often but whenever we meet, we connect," the 50-year-old actor added.
