Yash Raj Films to distribute Salman Khan Films’ Tubelight overseas
Yash Raj Films (YRF) have been entrusted with the overseas distribution rights (excluding MENA) for Salman Khan Films (SKF) next production – Tubelight. After delivering the blockbuster Bajrangi Bhaijaan, the dream team of Salman Khan and director Kabir Khan are back together this Eid. Tubelight is one of 2017’s most highly anticipated films, and is megastar Salman Khan’s third film as a producer. The film will also be featuring his brother Sohail Khan and the Chinese actress and singer Zhu Zhu.

Avtar Panesar, Vice President, International Operations, Yash Raj Films said, “Firstly it’s our privilege to collaborate with SKF, Salman Khan is arguably the biggest Box Office draw today and growing with each film. With him and Kabir Khan reuniting for the third time, it makes Tubelight a very special and hugely anticipated film with a great deal of excitement both within the business and the audiences alike. We at YRF pride ourselves on delivering only the best in filmed entertainment and are thrilled to bring Tubelight to the fans in the international markets this Eid.”
