Bollywood Superstar, Salman Khan is all set to promote their new upcoming film, “Tubelight” with the leading lady and Chinese actress Zhu Zhu in India.

Many may not get the opportunity, like Sallu, while Irrfan Khan promotes his new film “Hindi Medium” without his Pakistani leading lady.

The director of the film, Kabir Khan confirmed the news, and stated, “Yes, Zhu Zhu is going to join Salman to promote Tubelight. What a gorgeous woman and a lovely actor! She was such a positive presence on location.” Kabir repeats Zhu Zhu’s primacy in the film. “She is not just a side character. She has a major role. She plays a very important part. Does she speak Hindi in the film? I leave that for audiences to discover,” said the director.

The filmmaker who makes male-centric dramas feels the women are no pushovers in his cinema. “Whether it’s Katrina Kaif in Ek Tha Tiger and Phantom or Kareena Kapoor in Bajrangi Bhaijaan and now Zhu Zhu in Tubelight, the women in my films always have strong parts to play. I had told Kareena Kapoor during Bajrangi Bhaijaan, ‘You may have a smaller screen time. But you are the voice of the film.’ Likewise Zhu Zhu has less footage than Salman but she’s central to the plot,” added Kabir.

The first look poster of the movie is out. Sallu Bhai salutes with his shoes around his neck, though his face was not shown in first look yesterday. The movie is anticipated to hit the screens for EID 2017, i.e. June 23. Salman Khan is seen with a strapped bag from his back and tweeted “Kya tumhe yakeen hai ? Agar tumhe yakeen hai then “Back his Back”, releasing the poster first look on his twitter handle. This historical war drama wrapped up its shooting in February and director Kabir Khan confirmed its release for Eid.
