Superstar
Salman
Khan
says
anybody
could
have
essayed
the
character
of
Laxman
in
Tubelight,
be
it
Aamir
Khan,
Akshay
Kumar
or
Hrithik
Roshan.
"Aamir
hasn't
played
the
character
like
that
but
Aamir
is
really
good.
Hrithik
has
done
it,
so
Hrithik
would
be
a
good
choice.
And
Akki
(Akshay
Kumar).
Anyone
would
have
done
this.I'm
sure
if
they
would
have
accepted
the
role,
they
would
have
done
full
justice
to
the
role.
It's
just
that
I
am
locked
up
with
Kabir
(Khan)," said
Salman
during
an
interview
to
UC
News.
Tubelight,
also
featuring
Salman's
brother
Sohail
and
child
actor
Matin
Rey
Tangu,
is
set
in
the
backdrop
of
the
India-China
war
of
1962.
Salman
said
that
he
did
not
have
to
act
with
Sohail
but
it
came
to
him
automatically
as
it
was
"heartfelt".
"When
I
looked
at
the
script
--
I
knew
Sohail
would
be
fit
to
play
the
character.
But
the
director
(Kabir)
wanted
a
big
star
to
ensure
that
the
chemistry
is
right.
And
one
day,
I
told
him
--
What
do
you
think
about
Sohail
for
the
role?
And
he
was
like
no,
we
need
a
star," Salman
said."
"And
then
I
told
him
--
this
is
the
best
thing
because
then
I
do
not
have
to
worry
about
getting
the
bonding
and
chemistry.
With
Sohail
opposite
to
me,
there
was
no
acting
involved,
it
was
just
heartfelt,"
he
added.
Talking
about
his
bond
with
Rey
Tung,
Salman
said
that
the
child
actor
calls
him
'Bibing
Salman' which
means
older
brother.
"He
is
like
one
of
the
amazing
kids
I
have
ever
met.
He
is
superb
and
on
a
different
level.
He
calls
me
Bibing
Salman
which
means
older
brother.
He'll
call
everyone
uncle
but
he'll
call
me
brother,"
he
said.
