As the hunk gears up to kick off promotions for his next, Tubelight, Salman Khan has enlisted one of his most trusted circle to ensure maximum eyeballs. The first teaser of the war-drama will curiously feature voice-overs by young children from Galaxy Apartments, the building where the actor lives with his parents, as they engage literal tubelights in a conversation, reports Mumbai Mirror. The movie, which is set during the 1962 Sino-Indian war, marks the Bollywood debut of Chinese actress-model Zhu Zhu.

According to director Kabir Khan, the idea struck when he and Salman were brainstorming on their promotional strategy. "Salman and I decided to use a chorus by kids for the teasers but we didn't want to get trained kids to do it. So he suggested we round up a bunch of kids from his building and do it in a fun way. He and I then spoke to the kids ranging from six to 11 years and took them to the studio where Salman explained to them what we are doing. We are using this chorus in the teaser-logo as well as the teaser promo," Kabir told the tabloid.

Another interesting thing is that Salman loves children. "Salman really enjoys working with kids and has a special equation with them that he doesn't often share with grown-ups. Even when we are shooting amongst thousands of spectators, he will always point to a kid, call him and spend time with him. That's also one of the reasons Bajrangi Bhaijaan which revolved around Munni played by Harshali (Malhotra) happened; I knew he would have a special connect with the child," the director added.
