Can Salman Khan’s Tubelight break Baahubali 2’s records?

Baahubali 2 has shattered all pre-existing records in Indian cinema. The movie’s Hindi version alone is nearing Rs 400 crores and is already the highest grosser in Bollywood.

With Salman Khan’s much awaited movie Tubelight gearing up for release, talks are already on about it’s chances of toppling Baahubali. Recently, Tubelight’s director Kabir Khan, was asked whether he is under any pressure to deliver a huge hit. The director said that they have already much pressure and hence do not want to mount the Baahubali pressure to that.

Kabir Khan does not believe in making movies for box office pressure. He wants to experiment with different themes. That is the reason why he chose to do a movie like Tubelight after delivering the all time blockbuster Bhajrangi Bhaijaan.

Tubelight is Kabir Khan’s third movie with Salman, after Ek Tha Tiger in 2012, Bajrangi Bhaijaan in 2015. Tubelight is an official adaptation of the movie Little Boy. The movie is set against the backdrop of the 1962 Indo-Sino War. It will focus on the sufferings of residents at the time of the war period. There will also be an endearing romantic track in between. Salman Khan’s brother Sohail Khan is playing a pivotal character in this movie. Another major highlight of Tubelight is that Shah Rukh Khan has played a cameo role. The movie is all set to hit theatres this Eid on June 23.
