Kabir Khan gets the Indian Army to train his actors for Tubelight

Kabir managed to get authentic training from real soldiers for his next Salman Khan starrer

 Salman Khan’s Tubelight is set against backdrop of the Indo-China conflict. The makers got more than 600 actors, who were to play the army personnel. Sohail Khan’s character too, is an army officer.

 Director Kabir Khan came up with an idea to get his cast of 600 soldiers to perform with conviction. When he requested the Indian army to train these actors for Tubelight, they happily agreed and took the actors under their shelter for a couple of weeks.

 They organised a boot camp for the actors and trained them rigorously to make them look like real life soldiers. The actors had a complete transformation and showcased the body language of a soldier that looks completely convincing. They even learnt to hold their weapons and armor perfectly.

 Tubelight is produced by Salma Khan & Salman Khan and directed by Kabir Khan. It stars Salman Khan, Sohail Khan and Chinese actress, Zhu Zhu. It is co-produced by Amar Butala and music is by Pritam. Tubelight will release on Eid this year.
