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’.”
