There were reports that the "Fan" actor was approached for a special appearance in the film which stars Salman in the lead.
When asked about this, Kabir told reporters, "When I'll get to know I'll let you know... But for now, all these are just rumours."
"Tubelight" marks the third collaboration of the actor-director duo, who have previously worked on blockbuster "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" and "Ek Tha Tiger".
"Tubelight" also stars Chinese actress Zhu Zhu. The movie will hit the theaters on Eid next year.

The fact that there are less notes available in the market, people are not able to get their hands on 100, 500 rupee notes so it is definitely a problem.
"Jiskay paas thoda bohot hai woh film ticket pe nahi kharchana chah rahe hai. They want to cover essential things first (those who have some money, don't want to spend on movie tickets).
