Bollywood star Salman Khan is currently gearing up for the release of his upcoming magnum opus 'Tubelight’. The movie features the Baadshah of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan in a guest appearance and the fans can’t wait to watch the ‘Karan-Arjun’ duo reunite on the silver screen.

While guest appearances are a great way to pull in the audience and get them to the theatres, Salman Khan doesn’t believe in the concept. In a recent interview, the star opened up about the trend and revealed why he has stopped doing guest appearances. “By small films, I mean where you don’t have to give so many days to finish it. When that happens, your fans will go out to see the film and they will receive a small bit of you. And they will be disappointed. That is why I stopped doing guest appearances. When I do a guest appearance, the producer publicises it as a Salman Khan film, so the fans go to see it as a Salman Khan film and that is cheating the audiences. I clearly say ki guest appearance hai and 15 minutes se zyada ka kaam hai nahi.”

Helmed by Kabir Khan, ‘Tubelight’ is set against the backdrop of the 1962 Sino-Indian War and will hit the theatres on 23rd June.
