After giving two blockbusters together – Sultan (2016) and Tiger Zinda Hai (2017), the actor-director duo, Salman Khan and Ali Abbas Zafar will be working together for the third time in the film “Bharat”.
Ali Abbas Zafar’s film “Bharat” is an ambitious project which is an official adaptation of the 2014 South Korean drama “An Ode To My Father”. Ali Abbas Zafar was on the lookout for the female star cast for his upcoming film “Bharat” for quite a long time and Priyanka Chopra had finally confirmed of playing the leading lady opposite Salman Khan.
However, the actor has now revealed that Disha Patani will be playing the second female lead in the film by introducing her on Twitter with the caption: Welcome @dishapatani on the journey of @bharat_thefilm @beingsalmankhan @priyankachopra
Welcome @dishapatani on the journey of @bharat_thefilm @beingsalmankhan @priyankachopra
Meanwhile, the filmmaker who had been busy with the recee had dropped hints on the social media that “Bharat” will be shot near the border areas. If the reports are to be believed, Shraddha Kapoor was also approached for the same role though there was no confirmation on the same.
Looking forward to step into the shoes of a #TrapezeArtiste .. Thank you for this challenge @beingsalmankhan @aliabbaszafar @atulreellife @priyankachopra #Bharat it is!!
In the movie, Salman Khan will be seen in five different looks to show different phases of his character’s life. The story revolves around a man who gets separated from his family during the Korean War and how he manages to reunite with them. Disha Patani will essay the role of a trapeze artiste of the 1960s circus.
About his decision to rope in the Baaghi 2 actress, director Ali Abbas Zafar said: “The pairing of Salman and Disha in a circus set-up in the ’60s is unusual and exciting. She is a promising star and for this character, we needed a girl who looked vulnerable and beautiful yet had the physicality of an athlete. Disha fit the bill perfectly.”
“Bharat” will be shot across locations in Abu Dhabi, Spain, Punjab and Delhi and releases on Eid next year.
