THIS IS BIG! Salman Khan’s Tubelight Joins The League Of Hollywood Films Like Star Wars. DETAILS INSIDE

Post the release of Baahubali: The Conclusion, Salman Khan‘s Tubelight is now the most anticipated film of the year. The movie is already making all the right noises and now, it is making headlines again with yet another milestone.

The film has come in the league of Hollywood biggies like Star Wars as it has become the first Bollywood movie to have its own character emoji on Twitter (Kylo Ren, a character from the upcoming film, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, has got his own Twitter emoji). The emoji shows Salman’s character with his shoes hanging around his neck, as is seen in the movie. The emoji appears every time you use a hashtag related to the film like #TubelightKiEid, #Tubelight, #Radio and others.
