After a special appearance in Hello - Salman will now be seen in another brief appearance in this week's new release Heroes, where the actor plays a Sardar for the first time.

“I am playing an army jawan, who actually doesn't believe in war,” says actor Salman Khan
Salman plays the character of Balkar Singh and will be seen sporting a beard and pagdi for the first time in fact to make his look more authentic the star actually grew a beard for three weeks and took Punjabi tutorials before shooting started.
“First it was real uncomfortable wearing a wig so I decided to grow my beard, there were tutors for me and Preity Zinta who would look at our pronunciations,” says Salman Khan.
And though Salman has shot in a number of beautiful locations across the globe it's the landscape of Ladakh that captured his imagination while shooting for Heroes.
Since his last two films didn't set the cash registers ringing. Salman will be hoping that his new look will be a hit with both his fans and at the box office.
