Since the teaser of Tubelight has unveiled, it increased the curiosity levels for the film. Just like Harshaali Malhotra was the star attraction of Bajrangi Bhaijaan, in Tubelight too, it has six-year-old Matin Rey Tangu.
Talking about Matin, Kabir stated, "The kid always carries a slingshot with him. It's one of his quirks. "Let's call it evolution; Madhuri has been replaced by Matin now! It was almost coincidental that such a scene be recreated in Tubelight."
When Kabir was asked about any intention to cast Harshali bring six years old, "None of us was looking for an actor in a six-year-old. We wanted a wonderful child artiste who had the spunk and the ability to withstand a 100-day shoot. Making one perform is always a director's job. Be it Matin here or Harshaali in Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015), we never cast actors. They are babies, after all. We went through over a 1,000 kids before finding Matin. He had the attitude and determination to last until the end."
Kabir added, "One of the main reasons I cast Salman in this film as well as in Bajrangi was his connection with kids."
Kabir by recalling the experience said, "His mom was strict, but Salman ensured he got anything and everything he demanded. They even used to have archery competitions on set, and went horse riding together."
