Salman Khan enlists help from the kids in his society for the promotions of his upcoming war drama ‘Tubelight’

Salman Khan, who is currently busy touring the world as a part of his ‘Da Bangg Tour’ once back has his hands full with the promotions of ‘Tubelight’ and shooting for ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’.

While Salman is gearing up for promotions for his ‘Tubelight’, Salman Khan has got kids on board to help with the same. According to reports, the first teaser of the ‘Tubelight’ will feature voiceovers by young kids from Galaxy Apartments, the building where Salman stays, as they engage literal tubelights in a conversation.

Talking about bringing kids on board, Kabir said that it was Salman’s idea. “Salman and I decided to use a chorus by kids for the teasers but we didn’t want to get trained kids to do it. So he suggested we round up a bunch of kids from his building and do it in a fun way. He and I then spoke to the kids ranging from six to 11 years and took them to the studio where Salman explained to them what we are doing. We are using this chorus in the teaser-logo as well as the teaser promo,” Kabir revealed.

Further talking about Salman’ love for kids, Kabir added, “Salman really enjoys working with kids and has a special equation with them that he doesn’t often share with grown-ups. Even when we are shooting amongst thousands of spectators, he will always point to a kid, call him and spend time with him. That’s also one of the reasons Bajrangi Bhaijaan which revolved around Munni played by Harshali (Malhotra) happened; I knew he would have a special connect with the child.”

Set against the backdrop of the 1962 Sino-Indian war, ‘Tubelight’ is all set to release on Eid and stars Salman Khan, Sohail Khan, Om Puri and Chinese actress Zhu Zhu in pivotal roles.
