The beans have been spilled about Salman Khan’s character in his upcoming movie Tubelight. According to reports in the media, Salman will be playing a role of ‘specially-abled’ man, who falls in love with a Chinese girl, and is named Tubelight in the movie.
Tubelight is directed by Kabir Khan and the film is going on the floor today. The shooting is set to commence in Ladhak. The shoot in Ladhak will last for around 80 days. This will be the first time Salman is essaying a role of a ‘man-child’ in any movie.
“The film has an Indian guy falling in love with a girl from China,” a source was quoted in the media. “Interestingly, Salman is called Tubelight in the film. The actor plays a man-child, who is a bit slow in picking and learning many things.”
“It would also be the first time when Salman would play a ‘special’ role in his career where he doesn’t do the usual or play to the gallery,” the source added. “Kabir has taken special effort to make sure that the character is presented sensitively in the film.”

Tubelight, which is a cross-border love flick, is based upon the Indo-China war that took place in 1962. According to reports, Deepika Padukone is likely to play Salman’s lady love in the movie.
But, some media reports also suggesting that Deepika has already given her dates for Padmavati, and it is not possible for her to shoot any other film in the meantime.
