EXCLUSIVE: This Is The Most Difficult Task Salman Khan Had To Do During The Shoot Of Bharat

Ali Abbas Zafar’s Bharat is all geared up for release. The film is a remake of the Korean film Ode To My father and just like the original; the film Bharat too traces the life of a character spanning a period of 70 long years. Zafar feels that the film has got a lot crammed into its two and a half hour narrative. “There is a lot of meat in the entire film that will never let the audiences rest!”

The director who has worked with actor Salman Khan in two of the latter’s blockbuster hits Sultan and Ek Tha Tiger feels that Salman is pretty happy with the film. Quipped he, “I didn’t really get any calls from him (Salman) which means he surely is very satisfied with the film.”

The director who admits that it was a tough film to put together further revealed that Salman really worked hard to achieve an authenticity in the portrayal of his character. “He literally worked extremely hard especially to portray the role of the 70 year old man. The main reason was he still takes himself to be a 27 year old.” Therefore, to look and enact like a 70 year old really turned out to be a task for him! “That look came out brilliantly on screen and it also happens to be Salman’s favorite look from the film.” He also stated that it was his favourite look of Salman’s from the film too!

The film Bharat is a period drama that spans a timeframe of 70 long years. It would showcase the pre-partition, the post-partition and the years thereafter. The film stars Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif and Disha Patani in the lead roles and it has been directed by Ali Abbas Zafar.
