Salman to shoot with Govinda, SRK

Shah Rukh Khan will feature in Kabir Khan's upcoming period war-drama in a cameo

After Salman Khan joined practically the entire Hindi film industry for a cameo in the title song of Shah Rukh Khan's Om Shanti Om in 2007, Mirror has learnt that the latter is now returning the favour for Kabir Khan's Sallu starrer Tubelight. Initially slated to shoot in December, SRK's schedule was postponed to this month owing to both the actors' busy schedules. "SRK plays a pivotal role and will be shooting through Sunday night for his portions," informs a source close to the development.

The Tubelight team has been shooting at Mumbai's Filmcity where Kabir has recreated a hill station for the film's last schedule, after Manali and Ladakh. The two Khans have previously shared screen space in Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam, Karan Arjun and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, among others. Tubelight marks their big screen reunion after 10 years.

Meanwhile, SRK is also slated to make an appearance on Sallu's reality show, Bigg Boss, ahead of his new film, the Rahul Dholakia-directed Raees's release over the Republic Day weekend. The duo recently shot for a promo for the two-episode segment. A source from the sets reveals that they shot at Mehboob studios and SRK came in with wife Gauri and younger son AbRam. "Salman greeted him with a hug and made suggestions about improvising bits for the promo. Shah Rukh had to leave early for Imtiaz Ali's upcoming film, The Ring, so the promo shoot was wrapped up in an hour," adds the source. Govinda will also make an appearance on Bigg Boss this week.
