The Zhu Zhu Effect? Salman Khan and team upset with 'Tubelight' heroine's social media revelation!

It was an announcement made a little too early. Call it over-enthusiasm, but Salman Khan and his team aren’t too happy that Chinese actress Zhu Zhu revealed that she’s the leading lady in Kabir Khan’s Tubelight for Salman Khan Films.

The film is currently being shot in Ladakh and the picture Zhu Zhu posted with Salman in Ladakh was hastily deleted. But by then, the news and the picture had gone viral, much to his team’s annoyance.

Says a source close to the project, “They wanted to introduce her properly after the shooting in Ladakh which goes on for another fortnight. Zhu Zhu was immediately asked to remove the picture which she had so happily and innocently posted. In her defence, she didn’t mean to jump protocol because she didn’t know what the protocol was.”

Incidentally, Zhu Zhu is not the only leading lady in Tubelight. Salman will also be paired with an Indian co-star, which will most likely be Kabir and Salman’s buddy, Katrina Kaif. However, the source insists, “They haven’t signed the Indian actress opposite Salman yet, because shooting with her will happen in the next schedule. Right now, the entire focus is on completing the Ladakh schedule.”

Tubelight is plotted around the 1963 Indo-Chinese war. Chetan Anand directed the war epic Haqeeqat, based on the same subject. Those in the know, say Tubelight is inspired by that film, which had music scored by Madan Mohan. Pritam Chakraborty is expected to fill in for Tubelight.
