VIDEO! SRK & Tubelight Director Kabir Talk About Their Long-Lasting Friendship

Talking about it in an interview, Kabir said that though he finds the idea of cameos by big stars a publicity tactic, the particular character in Tubelight demanded a superstar. “It was a role screaming for a superstar cameo otherwise I wouldn’t have. I find it gimmicky. But when you will watch the film, you will realize the role needed a superstar. We went to him with the role and he was kind enough to agree. It is a brilliant cameo but I can’t say much about it because it will take away the joy of seeing it.”

The director-actor duo recently shot the Fair and Handsome advertisement together. The makers of the advertisement have released a behind-the-scenes video. In the video, Shah Rukh Khan and Kabir Khan talk about their long lasting friendship which started from college and moved to theaters and now films.
