A new photo of Salman Khan with his Chinese co-star in "Tubelight", Zhu Zhu, has come up on social media. The two stars are seen chilling together with cigarettes in their hands.

Salman and Zhu Zhu had recently wrapped up the Ladakh schedule of the historical drama film. Earlier, the Chinese actress had confirmed her association with "Tubelight" by sharing a photo in which she was seen along with Salman.

The new photo was shared by a fan club on Instagram. Zhu's face is clearly visible, but Salman's back is facing the camera. It appears that someone from the sets of "Tubelight" secretly clicked the picture when the two stars were having a smoke break.

A few days back, director Kabir Khan had raised curiosity among the fans by sharing a first look photo from the much anticipated movie. Salman was seen in a soldier's attire, but again his back was facing the camera.

This is the first time that Salman will be seen romancing a Chinese actress and the film has already garnered a lot of hue and cry. Based on the 1962 Indo-China war, "Tubelight" happens to be Salman and Kabir's third collaboration. Their last two films – "Ek Tha Tiger" and "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" had become two of the biggest blockbusters of all time.

Earlier, there were reports that Salman and the "Tubelight" team were upset with Zhu Zhu for announcing her association with the movie too early. There were reports that the makers of the film had different plans of introducing her as the film's female lead.
