Kabir Khan promises WHISTLES and screams for Shah Rukh Khan’s cameo in Tubelight

"I am not going to tell you anything about the scene because then it will be a spoiler but all I can say is that, I actually find cameos gimmicky. Even when a superstar comes in as a cameo I say was that really needed, does it help the film but when I was writing this character I just felt it was screaming for a superstar, because there is certain positioning of the character viz-a-viz Salman Khan. And If you need that position viz –a-viz Salman Khan, how many people can do that? So we went to Shah Rukh, of course he is very close to Salman. He is also somebody I have known since college days. He had given me his college notes to study (Jamia). I cleared my masters in film-making with his notes. We were in same school. He was senior to me by 2 years. Gauri and I had been dancing partners in a production called Westside Stories. So we go back a long way. All these factors combined, he said yes immediately. Also it's a lovely character. It's a very pivotal scene in the film. In a certain way it sets off the process of Salman character of what he will do in the film. It's going to be a treat to Salman and Shah Rukh together on screen after 20 years. It's a beautiful scene. And I too am looking forward to the audience reaction to that part. I have left a little lull in that scene just for people to scream, shout, whistle and settle down before I go forward. I know what's going to happen in the theatre. It's going to be Mayhem when the two of them come together."
