Chinese actress Zhu Zhu is making her Bollywood debut but she has worked in other international projects like Shanghai Calling’, ‘Cloud Atlas’ and ‘The Man With The Iron Fists’.

It is said to be Khan's shortest film, two hours and 35 minutes. However, the team and makers had decided to add 13 more minutes to it just one week before film's release.

The director, Kabir Khan has included 600 real soldiers after formal consent to train actors for the film. After agreement, they trained actors for weeks.

Later, boot camp was installed where these actors were trained. They were trained to the point where actors started to look like real life soldiers. Plus, they learned to hold weapons and armour too.

Lastly, reports state that a slingshot of 'Hum aap kay hain kon?' was recreated in Tubelight. It is also said that Matin (childstar) always carries a slingshot.
