Tubelight is directed by Kabir Khan and it has a political backdrop. ''Needless to say my films always have a political backdrop to them because that's what excites me and I find real. So Tubelight also has a little political backdrop. In terms of its emotional space it is similar to Bajrangi Bhaijaan. But story is very different. It is more of humour and emotional space that we (Salman and I) haven't delved into," Kabir Khan told a news agency.
