Bollywood actor Salman Khan is set to light up your Eid with his upcoming movie, Tubelight. The movie has already made a record of sorts before its release by becoming the first Bollywood film to have its own Twitter emoji.
When you type #Tubelight or #TubelightKiEid or any other word with the movie's name, the emoji will appear on the social media site. It shows Salman's Tubelight avatar in which he is in a saluting position with shoes around his neck.
Director Kabir Khan along with Salman took to their Twitter handles to launch the emoji and it is active now. It has, in fact, started trending on social media, and several Twitter users are expressing their joy by posting the emoji.
Slated to be released on June 23, Tubelight is an adaptation of the Hollywood movie, Little Boy. The teaser was released a few days ago, and the trailer will be released on May 24. But Salman will treat his fans at 6 p.m. on May 16 by releasing the Radio song from the movie.
