Reportedly,
Kabir
Khan
wanted
Deepika
Padukone
to
play
the
female
lead
in
Tubelight
initially.
But
Deepika
wanted
Kabir
Khan
to
make
some
changes
in
the
script.
Rumour
has
it
that
,she
even
told
Kabir
that
she
does
not
want
to
be
an
eye
candy
in
the
film
and
wants
an
equally
powerful
role
as
Salman's.
Tubelight
is
a
period
film
on
the
backdrop
of
on
the
Indo-Chinese
war.
A
source
told
a
leading
daily,
''The
film
is
based
at
the
backdrop
of
the
Sino-Indian
war
of
1962,
where
a
disputed
Himalayan
border
served
as
the
main
pretext
for
the
war.
It
isn't
a
political
saga.
It's
more
a
human
drama."
"As
for
the
heroine,
her
role
isn't
that
meaty,
but
there
will
be
a
leading
lady
in
the
film
whose
role
will
be
impactful.
Kabir
is
in
talks
with
someone
and
mostly
it
will
work
out.
It's
an
offbeat
casting,
something
that
people
won't
predict.
They
will
announce
the
heroine
much
later
because
the
first
schedule
won't
require
her
anyway,"
the
source
said.
