Kabir Khan: Awards are like morale boosters

Kabir Khan (TOI Photo)Big stars, sensitive topic, a high on terrorism location and a controversy!
Even after all this, Kabir Khan���s Kabul Express managed to bag the Indira Gandhi Award for the Best First Film by a director. ���I was pinching myself when I got this news. It is hard to believe,��� says Kabir.
���This award comes at a time when I had thought that everything was over and done with.Two years after its release, getting such a prestigious award is a great honour and a total surprise.��� Kabir feels that awards are morale boosters.
���It gives you a reason to work better for your next. But yes, it also puts you in a high-pressure zone. Your next project gets critically evaluated.��� Kabir���s love for strong political influence in his movies will continue in his next untitled venture. ���It is still untitled but it has a political theme. It is a story of three friends played by John Abraham, Irrfan Khan and Neil Nitin Mukesh,��� he says with a smile.
