Sultan star Salman Khan recently wrapped up shooting for Kabir Khan’s Tubelight in Mumbai where Manali was recreated at an urban studio. This one involves a lot of post-production to get the authenticity of the Sino–Indian war right. Sources reveal that Khan and his marketing team are planning to have a short promotional campaign for the film that would start only after the euphoria around Baahubali 2 takes a backseat.
Salman, who has always been against the concept of prolonged film marketing, has planned a 40 to 42 days promotional campaign that would begin with a trailer launch in second week of May. Unlike Ek Tha Tiger (2014) and Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015) which had a teaser followed by trailer, the makers this time will go the old school way by unveiling the trailer and following it up with a song launch every week.
The movie is confirmed to release on June 23. Tubelight will enjoy an extended five day weekend as Eid is expected to fall on June 26.
