"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.

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.
