Director Kabir Khan has announced that his forthcoming movie, tentatively titled Tubelight, starring superstar Salman Khan, will go on the floor next month. This will be the third time Salman and Kabir are teaming up, and first time after Bajrangi Bhaijaan.

Speaking on the sidelines of the IIFA 2016, Kabir announced his new project. “We have planned our next film. We will start shooting it exactly 25 days from today with Salman in Ladakh,” Kabir revealed.

The movie is said to be a reality-based flick having a political backdrop. “I have always believed in making commercial films based on real story telling,” Kabir insisted. The project will also see Salman collaborating with brother Sohail Khan for a movie.

Kabir, maker of highly-acclaimed movies like Kabul Express, New York and Ek Tha Tiger among others, said that actors and filmmakers should look for challenging projects and stop taking safe roles, after achieving stardom.

“When you think of doing something, people don’t question you much,” Kabir, whose movie ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan got the Best Film award at IIFA 2016, said. “They feel the other person knows something, so he should be allowed to do it.”

“So I think, at that point we should push the boundary even more,” he added. “I always had a complaint against our industry that when people turn successful, they start playing safe.”
