Salman Khan in Tubelight
New Delhi:
Salman Khan's Tubelight hit the screens today and from the celebrations across Mumbai it appears as if Eid has arrived early. Salman Khan's fans were super thrilled as they watched the early morning show of the Kabir Khan-directed film. Fans wore Being Human (Salman's brand of clothing and accessories) t-shirts, dance to dhol beats and cut Tubelight special cake to celebrate the film's release. Meanwhile, Salman Khan enjoyed a show on the eve of the film's releases with his Bollywood friends like Shah Rukh Khan, Anil Kapoor, Govinda, Preity Zinta and Sonakshi Sinha. Tubelight, set in the backdrop of 1963 India-china war, is an adaptation of Alejandro Gomez Monteverde's Little Boy (2015).
