homecoming
to
Bollywood
after
having
proven
her
range
as
a
performer
in
Hollywood
films
and
a
blockbuster
global
TV
show.
Bharat

"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,

film,
'An
Ode
To
My
Father'.
The
film
will
feature
Salman
Khan
sporting
five
different
looks
spanning
60
years,

showcase

in
his
late
20s,
looking
much
leaner
and
younger.
The
actor
will
be
recreating
his
'Karan
Arjun' look
which
has
created
immense
excitement
amongst
the
audience.
