Revealed: The story of Salman Khan’s ‘Tubelight’ is inspired from Hollywood movie ‘Little Boy’

The teaser of Salman Khan‘s much-anticipated film ‘Tubelight’ made it to internet recently and as expected, the teaser became the top trend on social media. Everyone was in awe of Salman Khan. But, apart from catching the glimpse of Salman’s performance or the stunning visuals, there is something else that caught our attention in this teaser. And it is the unique story idea of the film. But, to our surprise the story idea of this film is inspired from Hollywood movie ‘Little Boy’ (2015).

In the end credit slate, the makers of ‘Tubelight’ have mentioned it that the story of the film is based on the original film ‘Little Boy’.” (Also Check: ‘Tubelight’ teaser: Salman Khan is ready to deliver his career-best performance with this one)

A war fantasy-drama film, ‘Little Boy’ is about a little kid whose father is sent out on a war during the World War II and he leaves behind him along with his elder brother and his mother. The Little Boy feels his father’s absence most keenly, and can’t wait for him to return home. The movie witnessed the character of that little boy having immense faith which gives him a power to bring his dad back home safe.

Having a close look at the teaser of Salman’s ‘Tubelight’, we can also see that his brother Sohail Khan is a soldier who goes on a Sino-Indian war and the actor’s character trying to bring him back with his belief and power of faith. This also gives an idea about the tagline that the poster of ‘Tubelight’ carried saying, “Kya tumhe yakeen hai?”

Well, we could only say that we loved the teaser and we simply can’t wait to watch Bollywood’s Bhaijaan, Salman Khan on the big screen playing this different character.

‘Tubelight’ also marks the debut of Chinese actress Zhu Zhu and has superstar Shah Rukh Khan playing a cameo in it. It is slated to hit the screens during the festive time of Eid on June 23, 2017.
