CONFIRMED: Priyanka Chopra to star opposite Salman Khan in Bharat
Salman Khan has kick-started the shoot of his next film, Ali Abbas Zafar's Bharat today. The film is the remake of the South Korean film, Ode to my Father. Speculations have been rampant about the female lead of the film. However, Priyanka Chopra and director Ali Abbas Zafar have confirmed that the former is the film's female lead.
Priyanka told a leading daily, "I'm looking forward to working with Salman and Ali after a considerable time. I've learnt a lot from them during our previous collaborations and I am excited to see what this one has to offer. I'm also looking forward to working with Atul, Alvira and the entire team. To all my well-wishers who have been patient and supportive, thank you for your constant support and I'll see you at the movies.
Ali Abbas Zafar also confirmed the same and said, "Bharat is Priyanka's homecoming to Bollywood after having proved herself as a performer in a global TV show, Quantico, and in Hollywood. Bharat is rooted in India and its culture, spans over seven decades and travels across the world. Priyanka is the biggest Indian artist globally today and a perfect fit for the film as she brings to the table her incredible talent and international appeal. Bharat is a mature, subtle love story and her character is the soul of the film. She stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Salman in his journey and is the catalyst who triggers what will be a turning point in the plot.
Atul Agnihotri, the film's producer and Ali Abbas Zafar had travelled to New York where Priyanka was shooting for Quantico and had narrated the film's script to her. A source told daily, "She loved the script and immediately gave her nod. Salman and Priyanka will be teaming up after 10 years, making the association all the more special.
