The five-year-old, who hails from Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh, was introduced to the media here last night at a special event.
In a behind-the-scenes video from the upcoming film, Salman said that Matin used to complain on the set and say that he did not enjoy shooting as he wanted to be a chef.
When Salman asked his young co-star to tell the media what he wanted to become in future, the kid said, "I want to be an actor. Ab actor ban gaya toh ban gaya (Now I have become an actor so I will continue)."
"Tubelight" is directed by Kabir Khan and also stars Sohail Khan.
