Superstar Salman Khan, who will soon be
seen in the film "Tubelight", says as an actor he has limitations and
filming for the Kabir Khan directorial was an emotional journey.
Sharing his experience of working with his brother Sohail Khan, who is
essaying the role of his character's brother in "Tubelight", Salman
told media here: "The film was an emotional journey and I felt
emotionally drained after shooting some of the scenes that narrate that
my brother is no more."
"I am a limited performer and everybody knows that, but because Sohail
was playing my brother, maybe that's why I was feeling very emotional."
"In fact, during the dubbing of the film also, being a grown up man, my
tears were coming up... it was really bad! And coming from us (Pathans)
is really bad," he said, sharing an earlier story.
"When I was in jail, one day my mother, father and one of my uncles
came to see me there, and seeing my condition, my uncle started crying.
So my father told him, 'kaise Pathan ho yaar tum, roh rahe ho'(what
kind of a Pathan are you? You are crying!)," said Salman.
The 51-year-old also talked about late veteran actor Om Puri, who too
essayed a role in the film and actress Reema Lagoo who played his
on-screen mother in key movies like "Hum Aapke Hain Kaun..!" and "Hum
Saath Saath Hain".
"It is very sad. We lost VD (Late actor Vinod Khanna) a few months ago,
then I got to know that Reema ji is also no more with us, it is really
sad. I think within the last couple of months, I lost some very close
people," said Salman.
Salman and Sohail also showed the trailer of their film to their mother
Salma Khan on Wednesday.
"This time she will pray more as both of her sons are working on the
film," Salman said.
The actor was present at the trailer launch of the film along with
Kabir Khan, Sohail and music director Pritam.
"Tubelight" is slated to release on June 23.
