Director Kabir Khan, who was in New Delhi this Tuesday to receive the National Award, told PTI that he would be directing Salman Khan again, in his next film.
The movie, which will be launched in July, will be set against a “larger-than-life political backdrop”, said Kabir. “I am starting my next film in July with Salman. It is also a very nice, warm human story, with a larger-than-life political backdrop. That never goes away with me since I come from a documentary background,” Kabir was quoted by PTI.
