Bajrangi Bhaijaan Is Masala Entertainer Not Love Jihad: Kabir Khan

Bajrangi Bhaijaan is not just love jihad says director Kabir Khan. The director known for his films like Newyork and Ek Tha Tiger is making Bajrangi Bhaijaan with Salman Khan.

Kabir Khan is miffed with the rumours surrounding his film to be a love jihad. He clarifies it by saying Bajrangi Bhaijaan is a masala entertainer.

He said, "Everyone on the internet has an opinion these days. And a lot of opinions were expressed against my doing this film because it was supposedly about love jihad. First of all, I don't understand what 'love jihad' is. So why and how would I be making a film on the theme? Secondly, even if I was I wouldn't stop just because some people don't like what I am doing."

Kabir Khan says it is unlike any other films he had done before since it has Salman Khan in it.

"Salman has a staunch core audience. Films starring him have to adhere to the commercial language. So yeah, this one is my masala film, and I make no bones about. This is a film with lip-sync songs and dancing. When I was writing the film I saw the characters singing. This hasn't happened in my other films," added the director.

The film went on floor and will hit the theaters in 2015. It aslo features Kareena Kapoor, Anil Kapoor and Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
