"I've been a huge fan of Tabu's work and always wished to work with her. After several meetings with her, I'm happy it is finally happening with Bharat and am looking forward to the shoot, said the director.


The film stars Salman Khan in the lead role. Actress Priyanka Chopra, who was last seen opposite Khan in God Tussi Great Ho (2008), reunites with the superstar after a big gap of 10 years. Newcomer Disha Patani has also been confirmed for a special role in the movie.

Bharat reunites Tabu with Salman Khan after a gap of 4 years. The duo last worked together in the 2014 film Jai Ho. Before Jai Ho, Tabu and Salman have worked in films like Biwi No.1 (1999), Hum Saath - Saath Hain (1998) and Jeet (1995).

Though the makers have not disclosed anything about the character Tabu essays in the movie, some insiders reveal that the actress might play Khan’s sister.

Bharat, which is a remake of the South Korean film Ode To My Father (2014), releases on Eid 2019. Set to begin production in June, the film is being produced by Khan’s sister Alvira Khan Agnihotri and brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri. Bhushan Kumar of T-Series is the co-producer.
