In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood where fame is always fleeting nothing is predictable. One star could be winning hearts one day the next day they might be completely out of the picture but a few films remain etched in our memories for the long haul. But in this ever-changing industry a comeback holds a certain charm especially when it comes after years of silence. While for an actor it could be a revival of their career for others it could be reclaiming their name reputation and aspiration.
Once known as Bollywoods promising newcomers later found himself in the middle of a controversy that pushed his life into the darkest deepest hole. The actor we are talking about is none other than Sooraj Pancholi.
After nearly a decade of an elongated court battle and scrutiny in the controversial Jiah Khan case Sooraj Pancholi is all set to make his comeback with the action-drama packed film Kesari that is expected to be released on May 23. Besides Sooral in the supporting role the film will see Suniel Shetty in the lead role.
Sooraj has been away from the industry for years being embroiled in the controversy. He started his career in 2014 with a hero opposite Athiya Shetty. Besides that he also worked in films like Time To Dance Satellite Shankar and Hawa Singh.
Soorajs comeback is not only about reviving his professional career but it is deeply emotional since its about clearing his image and reclaiming his name.
Sooraj is all geared up for his return and is excited and grateful to be back on the big screen.
But besides Soorajs comeback what caught everyones attention was Aditya Pancholi father of Sooraj Pancholis presence at the Kesari premiere. Once ruling the industry in the 90s Aditya gave many blockbuster hits like Saathi Yaad Rakhegi Duniya Aatish Yes Boss Jung etc.
As the video from Kesaris premiere resurfaced online fans were quick to comment on Soorajs appearance. However what was surprising was that the fan couldnt recognise the veteran actor Aditya Pancholi.
At the premiere of Kesari actor Aditya Pancholi got emotional while speaking about his sons return. During the Kesari premiere he shared the amount of hard work Sooraj has put in his role despite his challenges he also spoke about his faith in god and persistence that gave his family strength to keep moving forward. Aditya added I’m very proud of him. Sharing the same feelings Soorajs mother Zarina Wahab also shared her joy expressing how Soorajs return was long overdue and the film has done justice to his talent.
Sooraj Pancholis return is not merely a comeback its a story of redemption and reclaiming reputation.
