Salman Khan plays the lovable innocent who charms hearts across borders in Kabir Khan’s period drama Tubelight. The Id release, which will land in our midst on June 23, has been produced by the brawny star and includes his unemployable brother Sohail Khan and Chinese actress Zhu Zhu as his love interest. She is a woman from China, the country with which India is at war in 1962. The rapidly edited montage doesn’t give too much of the story away, and has only a glimpse of Zhu Zhu. This is only the teaser, so hold on to those horses. There will many more occasions for Bhai fans to clutch their hearts until June 23.
