Tubelight is a special movie for many reasons- Salman Khan’s simpleton role, the cameo of Shah Rukh Khan and the direction of Kabir Khan and the promise of a heartfelt story. Beyond these reasons, Tubelight is dear because it is the last movie in which veteran actor Om Puri acted. Om Puri had completed his shooting for the movie before he passed earlier this year. His demise took the tinsel vile by shock and left a void that would never be filled. Now that Tubelight is releasing tomorrow, Om Puri’s wife Seema Kapoor spoke about the movie and how the former felt working in it.
Speaking to a leading entertainment portal, Seema revealed that Om Puri was excited about his role. “Om was very kicked about his role, especially his get-up. He used to often ask me about his look. We both felt he looks like freedom fighter Maulana Azad in Tubelight,” Seema told the daily.
Seema also revealed she would watch Tubelight because of Om Puri. “Yes, I will see Tubelight soon because it has Om in it. Frankly, I see Om everyday,” she said.
