Kabir Khan

Kabir Khan started out making documentaries in conflict zones, and that background gives his commercial films a political undertow the masala genre does not usually carry. Even his biggest crowd-pleasers tend to be about borders, nationalism and the people caught between countries.

Ek Tha Tiger made him a blockbuster director, but Bajrangi Bhaijaan is the defining Kabir Khan film, a Salman Khan vehicle about a mute Pakistani girl that turned an action star into an instrument of cross-border sentiment and became a phenomenon. The cricket epic 83 and the biographical Chandu Champion continued his run of large, emotional, based-on-truth spectacle.

Married to the television host Mini Mathur, he is a familiar figure at industry events. Our cameras value the sightings of a director this influential.
