As the trailer for Salman Khan’s much-awaited war drama Maatrubhumi dropped last night, it dominated social media chatter. And while there was much discussion about the trailer and Salman’s look, for singer-actor Meiyang Chang, watching his late friend Prashant Tamang was the highlight.
A former Indian Idol winner, Prashant died earlier this year at age 43. Maatrubhumi is his final film. Taking to social media, Chang said that watching Prashant left him overwhelmed with emotion and happiness.
Meiyang Chang’s emotional post for Prashant Tamang
In an Instagram post, he wrote, “Mere bhai and his final screen appearance! I’m so glad Salman Khan’s ‘Maatrubhumi’ (erstwhile Battle of G) is finally hitting the theatres next month so that everybody who loved Prashant Tamang can finally see him in this amazing look. From Idol to Nepali films to Paatal Lok to the biggest screens worldwide.”
