Nothing was heard about it until recently, when during the music release of Hero, Salman once again mentioned launching a new 'hero from a non-filmy family' (The 2015 remake of the 1983 hit marked the debut of 'filmy' kids Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty).
Well, buzz is, he was talking about none other than Tiger.
SpotboyE has it that the 22-year-old guy will make his debut sometime next year. An official announcement in this regard is expected soon.
Sources say Sallu has taken the youngster under his wing.
Tiger has been staying at Salman's Panvel farmhouse and even trains with the Bollywood superstar, who is undergoing rigorous training for Ali Abbas Zafar's Sultan.
