Kabir Khan's Tubelight is set for release today, and fans of Salman Khan have been cheering the film on. However, there is another star in the film stealing the show. The film's child actor, Matin Rey Tangu, has been creating waves on social media with his adorable videos and hyperactive personality. The child actor's audition video for Tubelight is another example why he is a tiny powder keg of talent.
The audition video begins with little Matin rehearsing for a line from the film, except when someone asks him for a meaning, the 'star' brushes him off saying 'Jaane de, tu nahi samjhega.' [Let it be, you won't understand]. The nonchalance and cool with which Matin brushes him off is one reason why the young boy from Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh is one of the high points of Kabir Khan's film.
It is not just his wit and humour, which Salman Khan himself praised in a previous video, but the energy that little Matin brings to the set. From dancing wildly to his own made up steps or winking mischievously when he is supposed to be asleep, the little boy has an infectious energy. It is easy to understand why director Kabir Khan said about him, 'If you let him loose in a room, he will naturally become the centre of attraction.'
