‘Bharat’ went on floors recently wherein Salman Khan and Disha Patani has already begun the shooting schedule. The film will feature Salman Khan sporting five different looks spanning 60 years, wherein a crucial part will showcase the actor in his late 20s, looking much leaner and younger. Salman Khan will be recreating his ‘Maine Pyaar Kiya’ look which has created immense excitement amongst the audience.

‘Bharat’ also brings back Salman Khan and director Ali Abbas Zafar for an Eid release after the 2016 Blockbuster Hit, ‘Sultan’. The hit director-actor duo will be marking a hattrick with Bharat after their last outing Tiger Zinda Hai. Produced by Atul Agnihotri’s Reel Life Production Pvt. Ltd and Bhushan Kumar’s T-Series, the film releases on Eid 2019.
