Tubelight is…
Tubelight is a big budget (Rs 75 crore) Indian feature film currently under production. It is scheduled to be released on June 23, 2017, to coincide with the Eid ul Fitr festival.
Director Kabir Khan and superstar Salman Khan are coming back together after delivering blockbusters like 'Ek Tha Tiger' and Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
Inspired by 'Little Boy?
The Times of India wrote that reports of the film being a copy of Hollywood film 'Little Boy' are doing the rounds on the internet with just a slight difference in the storyline. Where on one side, 'Little Boy' plays on the lines of a father and son story, rumour has it that 'Tubelight' will highlight the bond between two brothers played by Salman and Sohail.
Interesting facts about 'Tubelight'
Pratibha Devasenapathy | 11 interesting facts about Salman Khan’s 'Tubelight' | June 19, 2017
Kabir Khan’s dramatic rendition of the Indo-China war where a man-child loses his brother and is in search of him. Here are 11 of the most interesting facts about ‘Tubelight’ starring Salman Khan, Sohail Khan, Late Om Puri, Shah Rukh Khan, Zhu Zhu and Matin Rey Tangu.
Since there is a significant cameo of Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Tubelight’, Salman Khan will host a special screening for SRK. He recently revealed in an interview, “We always have a special screening for all our movies and there would be a screening for Shah Rukh at his residence.” Salman was joined by his younger brother Sohail Khan who will be seen essaying the role of his brother in the film as well, as he marks his return on the silver screen after almost 7 years.
Director Kabir Khan recently revealed to a daily that Sohail wasn't the first choice for the role, as he intended to rope in an A-lister, one of whom was reportedly Akshay Kumar. The report states that Akshay was allegedly among the top three names to play the role of Salman's on-screen brother. The director was keen to cast a prominent star and "create the chemistry" on-screen. However, he ended up locking down on the real brothers as he was reportedly "convinced" by their act and felt it would be time-consuming to create the kind of camaraderie they share.
The child artist in the movie Matin Rey Tangu was zeroed down by director Kabir Khan after auditioning thousands of children.
There is also a Kannada movie by the same name ‘Tubelight’. Kabir Khan obtained an NOC (no objection certificate) from the makers of the Kannada film of the same name, since they originally owned the rights to the title.
The trailer of Shah Rukh Khan’s next project with Imtiaz Ali starring Anushka Sharma opposite him, titled ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’, will be attached to the beginning of Salman Khan’s ‘Tubelight’.
According to reports, Salman essays the role of a man with special needs. He reportedly plays a man-child who is slow in picking and learning things, thus presumably earning the moniker of ‘Tubelight’. Despite his shortcomings, the character sets out on an unimaginable journey to find his brother (Sohail Khan), who has gone missing post the Indo-China war.
Salman’s co-star in the film, Zhu Zhu has already been seen in international projects like ‘Shanghai Calling’, ‘Cloud Atlas’ and ‘The Man With The Iron Fists’ among others. She will make her debut in the Indian film industry with ‘Tubelight’.
‘Tubelight’ is said to be Salman Khan’s shortest film in Bollywood. As per a source revealed to a leading daily, “Kabir Khan’s films are usually lengthier than the stipulated two hours that the multiplex-viewing audience favours. His last film ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ was nearly three hours long and worked just fine. ‘Tubelight’ was edited and readied at a run time of two hours and 35 minutes. But the team decided to slash the film by 19 more minutes just a week before its release.”
Kabir Khan has included 600 real soldiers in ‘Tubelight’, to perform with conviction. He asked the Indian army to train these actors for the film, to which they readily agreed. They took the actors under their regime for a couple of weeks.
They organized a boot camp for the actors and trained them rigorously to make them look like real-life soldiers. The actors had a complete transformation and showcased the body language of a soldier that looks completely convincing. They even learnt to hold their weapons and armour perfectly.
As per reports, the iconic slingshot scene in ‘Hum Aapke Hain Koun’ will be recreated in ‘Tubelight’. A source revealed, “The kid (Matin) always carries a slingshot with him. It's one of his quirks. Let's call it evolution; Madhuri has been replaced by Matin now! It was almost coincidental that such a scene be recreated in ‘Tubelight’.”
Misunderstandings with Zhu Zhu

'Tubelight': Salman Khan miffed with Chinese actress Zhu Zhu for revealing association with movie? |August 12, 2016| IB Times
Salman Khan and his "Tubelight" team reportedly had different plans to introduce Zhu Zhu as the film's leading lady.
Salman Khan and the makers of "Tubelight" are reportedly upset with Chinese actress Zhu Zhu for apparently announcing her association with the film too early.
Zhu Zhu had recently shared a photo on Instagram revealing that she will play one of the female leads in the movie "Tubelight." Although the picture was immediately removed, it was already viral on social media.
It has been reported that the makers of "Tubelight" had a different plan of introducing the film's actress but Zhu Zhu's "over-enthusisam" irked Salman and his team a bit.
"They wanted to introduce her properly after the current shooting in Ladakh which goes on for another fortnight. Zhu Zhu was immediately asked to remove her picture with Salman in Ladakh which she had so happily and innocently posted. In her defence, she didn't mean to jump protocol because she didn't know what the protocol was," SKJ Bollywood News quoted a source as saying.
The source also told the publication that the Kabir Khan directorial will have two leading ladies; one of which is Zhu Zhu and the other will be an Indian actress. "They haven't signed the Indian actress opposite Salman yet because shooting with her will happen in the next schedule. Right now the entire focus is on completing the Ladakh schedule," the source added.
The names of certain actresses like Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone had been doing the rounds, suggesting that any of the two will be seen opposite Salman in "Tubelight."
Chinese govt. asked Zhu Zhu to boycott promotions
Charu Thakur | Salman Khan's Tubelight: Is THIS the real reason behind Zhu Zhu's absence from the promotions? | June 22, 2017 |India Today
Salman Khan's co-actor Zhu Zhu has been missing from the film's promotion.
While the makers were planning to fly down Zhu Zhu from China before the release of the film, but with a day left for the film to hit the screens, that definitely [did not] happen.
During a recent interaction with media, when Kabir Khan was asked about Zhu Zhu's absence from the promotions, the filmmaker said, "She's busy there in China, isi liye woh aa nahi paayi hai."
However, if a report in BollywoodLife is to be believed, this is not the real reason behind her absence. A source was quoted as telling the website, "The Chinese government isn't too pleased with Tubelight and have apprehensions about how Kabir Khan and team have projected their country in this film. Considering that the film deals with Indo-Chinese war they are not sure if the Chinese have been projected in the right light. And that's why Zhu Zhu has been asked to stay away from the film's promotions."
