Suniel Shetty happy with Athiya’s debut

Athiya Shetty made her debut in Salman Khan production ‘Hero’ back in 2015. Although the film didn’t fare too well, her father Suniel says he’s happy.

“I think it’s debatable, since some sections of media said it didn’t work and some said it earned Rs  47 crore. For a newcomer like Sooraj and Athiya, that’s a great result, since it goes to show that they have done their job. Tell me, how many newcomers or established actors have managed to draw that kind of a collection in the last few years?” said Suneil, according to Asian Age.

The film also starred Aditya Pancholi’s son Sooraj. Suniel added, “Its an official number, not my number. According to me it’s a successful film, it’s a very commercial film. Now she is doing Mubarakan because it’s an entreating film and more announcements will come. I think Athiya is going slow but very steady”.

Athiya will be seen next in Anees Bazmee’s ‘Mubarakan’.
