Did You Know? The Indian Army Trained 600 Actors For 'Tubelight'

Kabir Khan, who has teamed up with Salman Khan for the third time in Tubelight, will reveal the trailer of the film today but before that, we have some interesting trivia for our readers about the film, which is set against the backdrop of the 1962 Sino-Indian War.

Since the film has the Sino-Indian conflict as its backdrop, more than 600 actors were cast to play army personnel in the film and in order to make them look and behave like actual soldiers, Kabir Khan requested the Indian Army to train his actors. A source attached to the film revealed, ''When he asked 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 organized a boot camp for the actors and trained them rigorously to make them come across as real soldiers. The actors had a complete transformation and by the end of the training schedule, their mannerism and body language resembled that of actual soldiers. They even learnt to handle their weapons with the ease of veteran soldiers.''

Directed by Kabir Khan, Tubelight, which stars Salman Khan, Sohail Khan and Zhu Zhu, will release in cinemas worldwide on Eid.
