At the event, Matin Rey Tangu made headlines with his wit and confidence. A reporter, who presumed that he is from China, asked him if this was his first trip to India. Matin confidently responded: "Hum India per hi baithta hai, toh India mei toh aayega na (I live in India only, so I will come here)."

Tubelight, directed by Kabir Khan, is set against the backdrop of 1962 Sino-Indian war. It is an adaptation of 2015 Hollywood movie Little Boy. The film also stars Salman's brother Sohail Khan, Chinese actress Zhu Zhu, late actor Om Puri and Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub.

Tubelight is Salman Khan's third film with director Kabir Khan. They have previously worked together in Ek Tha Tiger (2012) and Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015).

Salman Khan will be reuniting onscreen with his brother Salman Khan after a gap of seven years with Tubelight. They previously co-starred in Salaam-e-Ishq: A Tribute To Love, Veer and Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya.

Shah Rukh Khan will be seen making a cameo appearance in Tubelight.
