…“A Pakistani into Springsteen. Now that’s got potential,” sneered the editor of Javed Khan’s (Viveik Kalra, “Next of Kin”) high school newspaper in 1987 Luton, England. Javed had just submitted an article in homage to the American rock legend — or myth, depending on where you stand — Bruce Springsteen.
