Filmmaker Kabir Khan's next film
Tube Light starring actor Salman Khan will have elements of comedy and drama with politics as its backdrop.
"It is about a personal issue.
Can't talk about what exactly right now. Needless to say my films always have a political backdrop to them because that's what excites me and I find real. So
Tube Light also has a little political backdrop," Kabir told PTI.
Right from his debut film
Kabul Express, to
New York and his last,
Phantom, the filmmaker has directed movies that have a strong political background.
Tube Light will mark the third collaboration between Mr Khan and the 50-year-old star after blockbusters like
Ek Tha Tiger and
Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
When asked if their upcoming film will follow the lines of
Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Mr Khan said, "In terms of its emotional space it is similar to
Bajrangi Bhaijaan. But story is very different. It is more of humour and emotional space that we (Salman and I) haven't delved into."
Salman will reportedly be undertaking a journey of enlightenment and will travel from India to China in the film.
The director said that
Tube Light will have a "China element in the story" but he will be shooting the film in Ladakh.
Tube Light is scheduled to release on Eid next year.
