not one or two, salman Khan

will romance three lead

actresses in bharat

alman Khan‘s Bharat has been one of the most highly-
anticipated films right from its inception. The period
S drama is expected to be one of the challenging roles for
the lead actor as he’ll don 5 different looks in the film, which
will show his journey from the age of 18 to 70. Salman will be
seen transforming from one look to another with the help of
prosthetics and VFX, considering it spans over 70 years from
the 1940s. Each avatar will reflect the character’s transition;
reflect on his life and times.

Interestingly, the 52-year-old actor will romance three leading
ladies in the film – Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif and Disha
Patani. While Disha will be Salman’s love interest during his
teenage, Priyanka and Katrina will come in the film at the
time of Salman’s middle-aged avatar. Priyanka will have more
screen time and meatier role as compared to other actresses
in the film. Well, by looking at the star cast and backdrop of
the film, we must say Bharat is expected to be a bonafide
blockbuster at the box office.

For those of you who don’t know, Bharat is an official adaptation
of the South Korean movie – Ode To My Father. The Korean
film depicted the history of the country from the 1950s to
present-day through the life of a man. According to producer
Atul Agnihotri, Bharat will show us the journey of Salman and
India from 1947 to the early 2000s. The film is directed by Ali
Abbas Zafar, who previously delivered two blockbusters with
Salman – Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai. Interestingly, Priyanka
has also worked with director Ali in 2014’s Gunday, which was
a box office success. Bharat is set to hit the screens during the
Eid weekend in 2019.
