There
was
a
great
anticipation
around
Salman
Khan's
Tubelight
when
it
released
in
2007.
Set
in
the
1962
Indo-Sino
war,
the
film
was
an
official
adaptation
of
'Little
Boy'.
Unfortunately
the
film
failed
to
set
the
cash
registers
ringing
at
the
box
office.
Salman
Khan
who
is
known
for
his
candid
confessions
recently
opened
up
about
the
film's
failure
during
the
promotions
of
his
upcoming
production
'Notebook'
which
marks
the
debut
of
Zaheer
Iqbal
and
Pranutan
Bahl.
Salman
Believes
Tubelight
Shouldn't
Have
Been
An
Eid
Release
"Like
for
Tubelight,
I
did
say
that
yeh
Eid
hai,
people
are
going
there
to
you
know,
chill
kar
rahe
hai,
masti
vasti
karne
jaa
rahe
hai,
and
they
are
going
to
have
a
great
time,
Celebratory
film
hai,
festival
hai
aur
hume
pata
hai
yeh
script
kya
and
that
this
film
should
not
be
Eid
release."
Salman
Had
Advised
The
Makers
To
Push
Ahead
The
Release
Date
He
further
said,
"So
they
were
like
no
no,
we
have
got
the
date,
how
can
we
miss
Eid.
I
said
Eid
date
hai
but
yeh
nahi
ki
yeh
picture
Eid
par
aana
chahiye,
who
date
chodo,
aage
chalo."
The
Actor
Regrets
The
Decision
Made
By
The
Makers
Of
Tubelight
"But
at
that
time
I
should
have
put
my
foot
down
because
jab
log
aae
nikal
kar
toh
who
celebrate
karne
gaye
the
but
sab
rote
rote
aaye
hai."
The
Release
Of
Tubelight
Was
Wrong
He
further
added,
"It
should
not
have
been
released
on
any
festival
but
a
nice
Friday,
Friday
ki
date
ko
hona
chahiye
tha
and
now
when
people
see
it
on
satellite
and
digital
they
love
the
movie
so
the
release
of
Tubelight
was
wrong."
On
The
Work
Front
Salman
will
be
next
seen
in
Ali
Abbas
Zafar's
Bharat
which
also
stars
Katrina
Kaif.
He
also
recently
signed
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali's
Inshallah
where
he
would
be
sharing
screen
space
with
Alia
Bhatt
for
the
first
time.
