After featuring together in Lucky: No Time For Love, Veer and Maine Pyaar Kyu Kiya, the Khan brothers came together for the much-anticipated movie, Tubelight. Sohail Khan who doesn’t feature in too many Bollywood films was way more than happy when director Kabir Khan approached him for the role in his film.
Though the movie might not have opened to spectacular box office collection, the brothers are extremely satisfied with the film. There were also a few fans who wanted to see more of Salman and Sohail Khan together, in one frame than what was shown.
Talking about their screen-time in DNA, Sohail Khan revealed:
“There was a lot more, for sure. What we shot together, Salman bhai and I, or even what was narrated in the script. Later, Kabir decided to cut it down. Which is fine because the film was not made to celebrate Salman bhai’s brotherhood with me. So no complaints. I am very happy with the film and with the time Bhai and I shared in it.”
Salman Khan starrer Tubelight has collected a total of Rs 95 crore, a first for him, considering he makes Rs 100 crore during the opening weekend, especially when it’s Eid.

Sohail Khan and Salman Khan, who teamed up for their latest release Tubelight, are at the receiving end of critics bashing! The movie has been given low ratings by the critics.
Salman had recently gone on record to say that he only cared about the response of his fans and that critic ratings never bothered him much.
And now, brother Sohail, who played the role of Bharat Singh Bisht in the movie opened up about the same. He was quoted as saying, “Salman Bhai would be really worried if his fans and the people, who pay money to watch his film, were not happy. Because he really is concerned about the ticket-paying audience which must not feel let down at any cost. Of course, the critics have every right to feel whatever they think right. And Bhai accepts that without prejudice or suspicion. But, they should avoid personal comments and barbs aimed at an actor’s personal life. Please review the film, not Salman Bhai’s life.” (sic)
He further added, “It is what the public feels that bothers him. Salman Bhai is a responsible actor. Contrary to his image, he takes his duties towards his fans very seriously.” (sic)

“Mashallah, Da Bang Tour was a huge hit. Sonakshi (Sinha), Salman (Khan) bhai, Bipasha (Basu Singh Grover) and Prabhudheva were all in their element. It was a fiery and compact show. The response and hysteria was unimaginable. Getting it to India was a natural progression,” says actor-filmmaker Sohail Khan, discussing his brother’s popular tour, which entertained the Indian diaspora in Hong Kong, Auckland and Melbourne, a couple of months ago. It is now set to come to India on a five-city voyage.
Sohail says the tour was special because people bagged the rare opportunity of watching the star perform live. “Except for at awards nights, bhai doesn’t perform live. He hasn’t connected with his fans on such a scale for 15 years. An entire generation has passed since then,” he adds.
Salman Khan and his team plan to travel across Delhi, Chandigarh, Ahmedabad, Bengaluru and Kolkata. “Bhai has big movies slated for next year. We’ll also have to keep the schedule of performers in mind. Besides the five cities in India, we will travel to South Africa, US and UK next year. We should be able to cover the foreign locations in 10 days, followed by a fortnight in India. If all goes as planned, we should be able to wrap the tour by March 2017,” says Sohail Khan.

With Salman Khan, Sohail Khan and Kabir Khan putting immense effort in making sure Tubelight gets a massive opening, the Hindi film industry saw some of the most innovative and unusual promotional gimmicks.
Tubelight themed emojis, GIFs, child actor Matin Tangu stealing the spotlight with his innocence and a jovial Salman Khan cycling on the streets of Mumbai – all these have been a part of a larger exercise, aimed at creating as much buzz about the film as possible.
However, Chinese actress Zhu Zhu, who stars in the film opposite Salman, has not been part of the promotions. According to Bollywoodlife.com, the Chinese government has its reservations about the film since it is based on the Indo-China War.
Earlier, there were many conjectures about Zhu Zhu’s absence from the promotional events.
It was being said that the actress is busy with other films in China. However, as per the same Bollywoodlife report the Chinese officials are unsure about their country being projected in the right light in the Kabir Khan film. Therefore, Zhu Zhu has been asked to not participate in the film’s promotional activities.
This move comes as a surprise after Chinese President Xi Jinping told Narendra Modi that he watched the film and liked it. After Dangal’s humongous success in China, it will be interesting to see how Tubelight is received by the Chinese. The film releases on 23 June, 2017.

While elder brother Arbaaz Khan delivered a blockbuster with ‘Dabangg 2’, younger sibling Sohail Khan doesn’t want to remain behind. Buzz is that Sohail will be producing an animation film based on the Brazilian ace footballer Ronaldinho.
The world famous sports celebrity will be featured in the animation film titled, ‘R-10’, which will be produced by Bala entertainment and Sohail Khan. In this the protagonist R-10 will use his football skill to defeat the aliens and save the world. The movie currently is in pre-production stage.
Quoted our source, “They have plan to release the film in May 2014 worldwide, the year of FIFA world cup in Brazil.” Interestingly the production house is also planning to rope famous musicians and rock bands from Hollywood for the feature soundtrack in the film.
During the visit of Ronaldinho in India for the announcement of the film he said, “The welcome I received here in India is overwhelming and I am amazed at how India is similar to Brazil.
Launching R-10 in Hindi is like launching at home. It is a great feeling. It is also a matter of honour of feature in a football movie in the year when Brazil host the world cup. I hope everyone like it.”

‘Kick’ is in news and with Salman Khan too announcing that it would be the second film he would begin working once he is through shooting for the Sohail Khan affair, there is a definite sense of urgency amongst the makers to get the groundwork in place in quick time.
For starters, the film’s screenplay is being tightened in a big way so that the Hindi version turns out to be much more universally appealing when compared to the Telugu original.
This isn’t all as Salman is in constant know how of the film’s progress and is giving more than just a glace or two to the material which is being put together.
“For someone like Salman who has given four back to back 100 crore superhits and is all set for another with ‘Dabangg 2’ before ‘Kick’ goes on floor, everything needs to be accounted for in a major way before a single word is put on paper for his next”, says an insider close to Sajid Nadiadwala who is producing as well as directing the film.
While Chetan Bhagat is re-writing the film’s screenplay, Sajid is making sure that technically too the film is top notch and the locations that come on screen are not just lavish but also un-seen.
As for the action sequences, they are expected to be trend setter and notches above the kind seen in ‘Dhoom’ series or for that matter Salman’s own ‘Ek Tha Tiger’.
Says a source, “Still, everyone is making sure that while audience get to see the Salman that they love, they make something fresh as well. They have seen Salman do things but then they also want freshness. That’s the kind of ‘kick’ they need. Pun intended!”
