Mumbai Salman Khan has an answer to war — send all warmongers to the front. “War will be over in a day,” the actor predicted.
Salman and his brother Sohail Khan were speaking at a media conference about their new movie Tubelight , set in the backdrop of the Indo-China conflict of 1962. Sohail, who plays the role of a missing soldier, said that nobody supported wars, but conflicts never ended, when he was interrupted by his brother.
“Let all those who call for war be made to pick up guns and move to the front,’ Salman told the reporters.“Their legs will start trembling, their hands will start shaking and they will be back to the discussion table,” he said.
Salman, who played a peace messenger in Bajrangi Bhaijaan , carries an olive branch in Tubelight too. Asked for his opinion on war, the actor, who plays the missing soldier’s brother, said the film uses war to talk of peace.
Khan’s attention was drawn to the film Border which marks its 20th year this month, and revolved around an India-Pakistan war. He was asked if his film too dealt with conflict between India and China.
“We have just used it [the India-China war] as a background. Basically, whenever there is a war, soldiers of both sides die. Their families are left without their sons and their fathers,” he said.
The Kabir Khan-directed film is an official adaptation of the 2015 Mexican-American war drama, Little Boy.
