After announcing the project in late 2017, the makers have roped in three female leads so far alongside Salman. Priyanka Chopra was the first actor to join the film after Salman and will be making her comeback to Bollywood with this film.

In May, fresh from the success of Baaghi 2 actor Disha Patani was roped in to play the second lead opposite Salman. And now Tabu becomes the third female actor to join the film, which will release in 2019.
Interestingly, this is not the first time for Tabu and Salman working together in a film as they have worked previously films in like Hum Saath Saath Hain and Jai Ho.
With so much development to the film in the last couple of months it’ll be interesting to see how the makers will helm the remake of the third highest grossing Korean film, Ode to My Father.
Produced by Atul Agnihotri. Bharat is currently in the pre-production stage and is all set to release worldwide on Eid 2019.
