The DVD was launched here on November 8 by his friend, actor Anil Kapoor.
"I am a true admirer of Kabir since I was young and am proud that I am his friend. When Kabir started out, I was smitten by his voice and personality. He not only acted, but opened international doors for everyone. I'm really proud that Sandokan is being launched in India finally," said Mr Kapoor.
