Kabir Khan is ready with his second directorial venture 'New York'. He says the film highlights prejudices against certain nationalities and religions across the world after the 9/11 attacks in the US. Set in New York, the narrative is spread over nine years and revolves around three young friends whose lives take an unexpected turn after the terrorist attacks. Produced and distributed by Yash Raj Films, 'New York' stars John Abraham, Katrina Kaif, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Irrfan Khan in the lead. It is releasing June 26 worldwide.

When asked if 'New York' also has personal elements, Khan said: "'Kabul Express' was very autobiographical but 'New York' is a wider and much larger journey. Though it has been drawn from my experiences that I've seen and observed during 9/11, as I was there when it happened, it is not autobiographical at all." Asked if it was in any way a tribute to the Indian victims of the disaster, he emphatically denies and asserts that he won't call it a tribute to any Indian victim. It's a great human tragedy and we can't trivialize it by drawing lines on nationality, he adds.
