Kabir said, "I am so glad that I decided to do the course at MCRC because at that moment I was thinking of other courses like law or Masters in Economics. But from the first days in MCRC, I realised that this is what I am meant to do. I was doing a Master's in Communication, which was basically a filmmaking course. Before me, the most famous person from the institute was of course Shah Rukh Khan. He didn't come to become a filmmaker, he came to become an actor. But he was my senior in MCRC. I used his notes to study in fact. I knew Shah Rukh before he joined the industry.”
Kabir Khan also directed Shah Rukh in a campaign for Dubai Tourism. During the release of Tubelight, when he was asked about a possibility of a full-fledged collaboration with Shah Rukh, Kabir said, “I would love to work with him. I have known him since college days in Delhi. We shot for an advertisement recently and we do speak about ideas. So, if there comes an idea, we both agree upon, I am sure we will collaborate.”
