Interestingly, director Kabir Khan has stated that there was a special reason to rope in SRK for 'Tubelight' saying the role in the movie needed a superstar.

"It was a role screaming for a superstar cameo otherwise I wouldn't have. I find it gimmicky. But when you will watch the film, you will realise the role needed a superstar. We went to him with the role and he was kind enough to agree. It is a brilliant cameo but I can't say much about it because it will take away the joy of seeing it," Kabir Khan had told a leading daily.

Also starring Sohail Khan and Chinese actress Zhu Zhu in key roles, 'Tubelight' is based on the backdrop of Indo-Sino 1962 war. The movie is slated to release on June 23 and will mark Salman Khan's gift to his fans on Eid.
