Ali
Had
Good
Things
To
Say
About
Varun
While
the
filmmaker
was
tight-lipped
about
Varun's
role,
he
did
shower
him
with
praises
and
said,
"He
is
a
great
friend
and
actor.
He
is
a
very
good
boy
and
we
really
get
along
and
he
is
also
very
fond
of
Salman
and
Katrina.
It
was
just
a
big
party
on
sets
when
he
was
there."
Varun
Has
An
Interesting
Scene
In
Bharat
"It
was
very
different.
Also,
when
the
film
comes
out
and
we
do
the
final
cut,
we
will
know
how
I
am
using
the
scene
with
Varun
but
it
was
fun.
It
is
a
very
interesting
scene,"
Ali
said
when
quizzed
how
this
cameo
of
Varun
is
different
from
his
previous
ones.
Speaking
About
The
Film
Ali
in
a
recent
interview
with
Mumbai
Mirror
had
revealed
why
the
film
is
titled
Bharat
and
said,
"Since
the
film
isn't
only
about
a
father
and
son,
I
didn't
want
to
translate
Ode
To
My
Father.
I
was
tossing
in
bed
at
5
am
when
the
title
came
to
me.
Hours
later,
when
I
met
SK
and
Atul
I
told
them
I
had
a
title,
Bharat.
They
froze
for
two
seconds,
then
Salman
said
'yes'.
Since
this
man
symbolises
the
nation
what
better
than
Bharat."
Only
Salman
Could
Have
Played
Bharat
Further
revealing
why
only
Salman
could
have
pulled
off
this
role,
the
filmmaker
said,
"While
many
Hindi
films
revolve
around
the
mother
and
son,
the
father
has
often
been
portrayed
as
a
hard
disciplinarian.
My
relationship
with
my
dad
and
Salman's
with
his
(Salim
Khan)
is
different
and
at
the
core
of
the
film.
That's
why
only
Salman
could
play
Bharat."
