Ace filmmaker Kabir Khan’s upcoming movie ‘Tubelight’, starring Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, is undoubtedly one of the most-awaited movies of 2017. The movie is set against the backdrop of the 1962 Sino-Indian War and is an adaptation of Mexican filmmaker Alejandro Gomez Monteverde’s war movie, ‘Little Boy’.
“Our film is an official adaptation of Little Boy. We have changed the characters and the setting. We did approach them and told them we want to adapt it and not remake it. Anything can trigger off someone to make a film, and in fact, nobody has seen that movie,” Kabir Khan said.
He further said “People know about 'Little Boy' because of 'Tubelight'. It’s a small film about the teachings of the Bible. When I saw it, I loved it and thought it could easily be set up in this scenario.”
