Director
Kabir
Khan's
Kabul
Express
has
been
in
the
news
since
the
time
of
its
inception.
Be
it,
it's
shooting
in
Afghanistan,
or
John's
illness
owing
to
the
harsh
shooting
conditions,
the
movie
has
been
speculated
about
to
no
end.
Kabul
Express
tells
the
story
of
five
people
from
different
worlds
whose
paths
were
destined
to
cross
in
a
country
devastated
by
war.
We
all
know
about
John
and
Arshad
playing
the
two
lead
characters.
But
who
are
the
other
three?
One
plays
an
Afghani,
one
American
and
one
is
Pakistani.
Kabir
Khan
has
ensured
that
the
authenticity
of
his
film
is
maintained.
To
do
so,
he
decided
that
every
actor
should
be
of
the
same
nationality
as
their
character.
So
there
is
an
Afghani
actor
named
Hanif
Humghum
who
will
be
playing
a
local
driver
cum
guide.
American
actress
Linda
Arsenio
will
be
essaying
the
role
of
a
New
York
based
journalist.
The
character
of
a
Pakistani
journalist
will
be
portrayed
by
Pakistani
actor
Salman
Shahid.
And
lastly
as
we
all
know
John
Abraham
and
Arshad
Warsi
are
playing
Indian
journalists.
Apart
from
that,
there
are
about
20
Afghan
actors
in
the
film.
Which
seems
like
a
smart
decision,
considering
that
the
film
is
titled
Kabul
Express.
How's
that
for
realism
in
your
film?
From
what
we
can
see,
Kabul
Express
definitely
promises
to
be
a
melting
point
of
diverse
cultures.
