Directed by Kabir Khan, Tubelight also marks the Bollywood debut of Chinese star Zhu Zhu.

Interestingly, Sohail will be seen alongside Salman in Tubelight. “I don’t think I am allowed to talk about it but it is a small role. I play his brother.

Tubelight will also see a guest appearance by Shah Rukh Khan.
