Why Is Salman Khan A ‘Tubelight’??
Salman Khan starts shooting for his next Tubelight from July 28 and we can’t wait to get a preview of his look from the film. Tubelight
directed by Kabir Khan will reunite Salman with his favourite director who has given him hits like Ek Tha Tiger and Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
Kabir recently took to his social media account to give us a glimpse of the breath taking location where Tubelight will be shot.

Tubelight will be a cross border love story set in the year 1960-62 where the guy is from India who falls in love with a girl from China. It will be a period film based on the time when India was at war with China.
While this isn’t the first war film to be made in Bollywood, what is interesting though is the fact that Salman’s character has an unique name. In the film, Salman plays the lead role of a man-child who is lovingly called Tubelight.
The reason why he’s called so, is because the script has him playing a man who is a bit slow in picking and learning many things. It would also be the first time when Salman would play a ‘special’ role in his career where he doesn’t do the usual or play to the gallery. Kabir has taken special effort to make sure that the character is presented sensitively in the film.
