In Kabir Khan's Tubelight Salman Khan , Sohail Khan and Zhu Zhu will be seen in the lead role. As per the recent news, Sohail Khan wasn't the first choice for the same.

Kabir said, "Instead of a real brother, I thought we should get another actor and create the chemistry on screen.”

Kabir explains, "That was while we were developing the script, and before we could decide, I was convinced by Sohail. Maybe, with another actor, I would have had to spend time and create the chemistry that Salman and Sohail share."

Salman too confirmed, "They wanted someone bigger so that we could crack the number game and earn more at the box office."

But Salman said, "I wanted to be really comfortable, and honestly, with Sohail, I didn’t need to act too much. The emotions came automatically. So when you see the tears in the film, sometimes, they are my own emotions as a brother."

Kabir at last said, "We put Sohail through a lot of hard work, like making him sprint across the mountains of Ladakh — anybody else in his place would have said, ‘I’m out of this place’, but Sohail kept going even with his oxygen pump in hand. Sohail’s is a dignified character in the film. People will love him, I am sure."
