Watch the teaser of Salman Khan's
Tubelight:
Salman Khan co-stars with Chinese star Zhu Zhu and child actor Matin Rey Tangu in the film, which is his third with Kabir Khan after
Bajrangi Bhaijaan and
Ek Tha Tiger. Ahead of the trailer, anticipating comparisons between
Tubelight and
Bajrangi Bhaijaan, the director told IANS: "Salman will be seen in a completely different way in the film (Tubelight). If people have thought that Salman's performance is special in
Bajrangi Bhaijaan, then his performance in Tubelight is five times better than it. The audience will see Salman's better performance in
Tubelight,"
