Admirers have been waiting for Salman Khan's Tubelight ever
since it has been pronounced. The teaser has increased the curio levels and now
the wait is on for the trailer to finally hit the web on May 25, that is,
tomorrow. Just like Harshaali Malhotra was the star attraction of Bajrangi
Bhaijaan, Tubelight has six-year-old Matin Rey Tangu.
Speaking about Matin, director Kabir Khan told, "The
kid (Matin) always carries a slingshot with him. It's one of his quirks."
Well, for years there's was no one to beat Salman and Madhuri's camaraderie
onscreen, but, now according to Kabir, "Let's call it evolution; Madhuri
has been replaced by Matin now! It was almost coincidental that such a scene be
recreated in Tubelight."
Was it intentional to find a six-year-old as Harshaali and
Salman's team did wonder? Then, the answer is NO. Kabir told, "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."
What is the main reason that Kabir zeroed it down to Salman
Khan? Kabir further added, "One of the main reasons I cast Salman in this
film as well as in Bajrangi was his connection with kids."
Kabir even stated how Salman and Matin were inseparable on
the sets. Remembering the shoot experience, Kabir told, "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."
