Salman Khan: Those who order war should be sent to the war front

Salman Khan's next with Kabir Khan, 'Tubelight' is the story of brotherhood set against the backdrop of the 1963 Indo-China war not only does the film tell a story of war and how it affects the lives of people but also the futility of war.

Taking a cue from the film's message, Salman at a recent event said such acts of violence between nations can stop if those who 'order' wars are sent to the front and asked to fight.

Salman said, "I think those who order war should be sent to the war front, given guns and asked to fight first. It will stop in one day. Their hand and legs will start trembling... It will stop and they will go straight to the table and have discussions."

Talking about using war as a backdrop in the upcoming film, Salman revealed, "We have used the India-China war as a backdrop for the film. We've only touched that... and basically, convey that war should get over soon so that our soldiers come back to us and their soldiers go back to their country. Whenever a war happens, soldiers from both sides die, leaving many families without their sons or fathers."

Sohail Khan will be seen playing a soldier in 'Tubelight'. Directed by Kabir Khan, 'Tubelight' stars Salman Khan, Sohail Khan, late Om Puri and Chinese actress Zhu Zhu in pivotal roles.
