The 51-year-old actor said that SRK, whose character name is Goga Pasha in the film, appears is like a 'magician' and gives Laxman (Salman Khan) all the 'power.' "This is a very important part, where Laxman starts getting the belief back and that is where Shah Rukh's character comes in and he is like a magician and gives Laxman all the power.

So, when I called him and I told him that there is a small role in Tubelight which I would like you to do it, before completing my sentence, Shah Rukh said, 'I will do it'. That's how he made his entry into the movie," news agency IANS quoted Salman Khan as saying.

Tubelight is an adaptation of 2015 Hollywood movie Little Boy. The film also stars Sohail Khan, Chinese actress Zhu Zhu, late actor Om Puri and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub.
