Is Salman Khan's Tubelight set against the backdrop of Sino-Indian war?

A few days back, Salman Khan confirmed that his next film, Tubelight, directed by Kabir Khan is a period drama. The Sultan star also confirmed that his real life brother, Sohail Khan will play his brother on-screen.

Now, according to media reports, the much awaited Eid 2017 release will be set against the backdrop of the Sino-Indian war that took place in 1962. The reports also state that despite revolving around a politically serious issue, the film will essentially be a human drama. The basic premise will revolve around the transformation of Salman's character.

The movie hits the big screen next Eid which falls in June 2017.
