Director Kabir Khan’s Tubelight, starring Salman and Sohail Khan will go on floors this July. As per a popular daily, the film, set in the 1960s, will first camp at Ladakh, later moving on to Kashmir. “The film is based at the backdrop of the Sino-Indian war of 1962, where a disputed Himalayan border served as the main pretext for the war,” the source revealed. The source further added, “It isn’t a political saga. It’s more a human drama.”
There were also stories about Tubelight being a no-heroine film and just revolving around Sohail and Salman’s characters. “Sohail and Salman play brothers in the film, but Sohail is not playing a mute guy at all. As for the heroine, her role isn’t that meaty, but there will be a leading lady in the film whose role will be ipactful.” Is an actress finalised for the role? “Kabir is in talks with someone and mostly it will work out. It’s an offbeat casting, something that people won’t predict. They will announce the heroine much later because the first schedule won’t require her anyway.”
Further, the source stated, before signing off, “Salman wants to explore the unexplored locations of Ladakh and Kashmir and for the film, he’s asked Kabir to scout for such places to shoot.”
