The Salman Khan starrer film 'Tubelight' has been shot extensively in Manali and Ladakh. The crew shot in extremely harsh conditions for certain portions. Because of low oxygen in the high altitudes, many crew members fell sick and had to be sent back to Mumbai. To top it all, there were hardcore action sequences that demanded the actors to run a lot and climbing high terrains. Many stuntmen had breathing difficulties and needed oxygen masks.

Not just the stuntmen but even for Sohail Khan, the film has been a physical challenge. He plays an army officer and his role demanded a lot of physical exertion. Despite all the difficulties, the team followed filmmaker Kabir Khan's direction with no complaints even from stars and the entire team pulled off every single day with dedication and hard work.

'Tubelight' is produced by Salma Khan & Salman Khan and directed by Kabir Khan. It stars Salman Khan, Sohail Khan and Zhu Zhu. It is co-produced by Amar Butala. Tubelight will release in cinemas worldwide on June 23.
