Director Kabir Khan who lately
wrapped up shooting for his upcoming movie Tubelight starring Salman
Khan is all set to enter the digital space as well with a web series.
If news are to be believed, Kabir
will soon be venturing into the digital world with an international web series
which will focus on Subhash Chandra Bose's Indian National Army.
The web series will seemingly be
directed and produced by the filmmaker himself.
"It's a war epic, an Indian Band of Brothers (the 2001
American war-drama miniseries co-written by Tom Hanks and featuring Homeland
star Damian Lewis) of sorts, which will touch upon several stories, including
the contribution of women in the Indian National Army. Kabir has been working
on the subject since many years and now has a screenplay ready, however, he
will develop the story further only after the release of Tubelight with
a team of writers," a source told to a famous daily.
The source further added that Kabir is very
excited about this project and the budget for the same will be higher than any
of his films till date. "Kabir is extremely excited about this
mega project with a scale and budget that will be way higher than any of his
films till date. It will mostly be a nine to 10-episode series to be
shot extensively abroad with some portions set in India and will feature actors
and technicians from all over the world but Kabir will begin casting only after
the release of Tubelight," told the source.
Before making his Bollywood debut, Kabir has worked as
cinematographer for a documentary film by Gautam Ghosh, Beyond the
Himalayas. Later with the Forgotten Army, Kabir made his documentary
debut. The film was based on Subhas Chandra Bose's Indian National Army.
Kabir made his Bollywood debut with Kabul Express which
starred John Abraham and Arshad Warsi.
