homecoming
to
Bollywood
after
having
proven
her
range
as
a

years
and
set
across
various
countries
of
the

She
Bagged
This
Role
"Priyanka
is
the
biggest
Indian
artist
internationally
and
she
is
a
perfect
fit
for
the
film.
She
brings
in
outstanding
acting
as
well
as
incredible
international
appeal
to
make
the
scale
of
the
film
bigger
and
even
more

the

added.
Salman
&
Priyanka
To
Reunite
After
10
Years
Ali
Abbas
Zafar
and
producer
Atul
Agnihotri
travelled
to
New
York
to
meet
Priyanka
and
gave
her
the
narration
of
the
film.
She
loved
Ali's
script
and
she
was
convinced
immediately
to
do
the
film.
Salman
and
Priyanka
will
be
teaming
up
after
10
years
making
the
association
all
the
more
special.
The
Producer
Speaks
Atul
Agnihotri
who
is
collaborating
with
Priyanka
for
the
first
time
shares,
"We
are
all
very
happy
to
welcome
Priyanka
to
the
Bharat
family.
We
couldn't
have
asked
for
anyone
better
than
her
to
play
this
role."
Ali
Spills
The
Bean
About
Priyanka's
Role
Ali,
who
has
directed
Priyanka
in
Gunday
before,
adds,
"We
have
found
the
soul
of
Bharat
in
Priyanka
Chopra.
As
the
love
story
in
Bharat
is
very
mature
and
quite
subtle,
we
needed
an
actor
who
could
portray
this
in
the
best
possible
way.
Her
character
is
the
soul
of
the
film,
and
throughout,
she
stands
shoulder
to
shoulder
with
Salman
Khan
in
the
journey.
She
is
the
catalyst
at
the
film's
most
important
turning
point."

Salman's
Bharat
went
on
floors
yesterday.
The
film
is
an
official
remake
of
the
South
Korean
film,
'An
Ode
to
my
Father'.
Meanwhile,
this
is
the
third
time
that
Salman
Khan
and
Ali
have
teamed
up.
The
record-breaking
superstar-director
duo
has
earlier
made
the
blockbusters
Sultan
and
Tiger
Zinda
Hai.
T-Series' producer
Bhushan
Kumar
shares,
"We
are
very
happy
that
the
best
of
talents
are
coming
together
for
Bharat.
It
is
a
beautiful
story
and
we

very
excited
to
start
the

Spain,
Poland,
Portugal,
and
Malta.
The

will
feature
Salman

sporting
five
different
looks
spanning
60
years,

a
crucial
part

in
his
late
20s,
looking
much
leaner
and
younger.

be
recreating
his
'Karan

look
which
has
created
immense
excitement
amongst
the
audience.

is
known
to
treat
his
fans
on
festive
seasons.

year
will
witness
his
film
'Race
