Love and Politics: Kabir Khan on Human Moments, Limitations on Filmmaking, The Power of Hindi Cinema

In the new episode of the podcast, we had the pleasure to interact with filmmaker Kabir Khan about his beliefs about making cinema, the films that have had the greatest influence on him, his films such as New York and Bajrangi Bhaijaan, and how he looks at the limitations on filmmaking.
