Recently, National Award winner for the Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment director Kabir Khan has denied the rumour about Deepika Padukone being a part of his next directorial, 'Tubelight.',
"I have never spoken to Deepika about the film. The earlier news that Deepika is going to be a part of the film was a rumour, still it spread like a fire. So, naturally, the news that she isn't doing the film does not surprise me, because I didn't even discuss it with her," said the 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' director.
He added, "For now, just Salman Khan is the only lead of the film. We are still not sure who will become the female lead, but once we decide upon it, we will surely breakout the news." Kabir also said that he is excited about his film 'Tubelight', as it is a territory that he and Salman have not ventured yet.
