After ace comedian Sunil Grover, Ali Abbas
Zafar has also roped in Aasif Sheikh,
popularly known as Vibhuti Narayan Mishra

a pivotal role in Salman Khan film, Bharat.
Aasif has earlier worked with Salman in
Karan Arjun, Bandhan, Pyaar Kiya To Darna
Kya, Dil Ne Jise Apna Kahaa, Auzaarand
Shaadi Karke Phas Gaya Yaar.
Ali Abbas Zafar shares, "We are very excited
to work with Aasif, he has brilliant comic
timing and his popularity on TV is
phenomenal, looking forward to work with
him".
"I have only three friends, and Atul is one of
them, so I was more than happy to be a part
of this film. Also, I really like Ali Abbas Zafar
as a director and I can't wait to collaborate
with Salman again. I am playing his sister's
husband in the film who always delivers
these one-liners and there is a big time span
that we cover together. I have known
Salman since his Maine Pyar Kiya days. He is
a very special person, says Aasif, adding
that he has been discussing his character
with Ali to make it more interesting. "I will
not disappoint you, he promises.
Aasif was last seen in Kader Kashmiri's 2016
film Aman Ke Farishtey. Prod him on why he
hasn't been taking up more films and he
says, "I have been getting offers, but
something should interest me, and my focus
presently is on my TV show. It caters to
people from ages 4 to 80. In fact, just a few
days ago, while I was waiting in my car for
the signal to turn green, a young boy of
about four from the car next to mine called
out to me by my character's name Vibhu.
The show has given me fame, name and
money too and I don't want to lose out on it
for just anything. However, Bharat is special,
and I can't wait to start work on it, smiles
Aasif, sharing one of the memorable
incidents while working with Salman on a
previous film.
"Whenever I shoot with him, I invariably end
up in his vanity van for a chat. I remember
one day, a big star had come to meet
Salman, so I told him I'll go out, but he
insisted that I stay put as I am his friend too.
He is a great human being and hasn't
changed at all over the years, Aasif signs
off.
Bharat 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.
Bharat will also star Priyanka Chopra
alongside Salman Khan.
The film also stars Disha Patani, Tabu, Sunil
Grover in pivotal roles.
