“It catapulted me into stardom and forged a timeless bond with the audience. Working with Subhashji was like embarking on a cinematic journey where every frame held a piece of magic. Subhashji didn't just direct 'Hero'; he sculpted an emotion, a connection that transcends time. I am eternally grateful to him,” he added.

Subhash Ghai said: "Mukta Arts is a canvas for storytelling, and 'Hero' was the brushstroke that painted our cinematic legacy. Mukta Arts was born out of a deep-seated passion for storytelling, a commitment to crafting narratives that go beyond entertainment. 'Hero' isn't just a film; it is an emotion that continues to connect with people on a profound level. The grand debut of Jackie Shroff, the mesmerising choreography by Saroj Khan and the soulful music – each element contributed to the symphony of emotions that the audience experienced."

The film marked the debut of Jackie Shroff in a lead role and established him as one of the leading stars of Bollywood. The film is remembered for its music and its narrative.
