The film re-unites Khan, Zafar and Kaif after their super-hit 2017 outing Tiger Zinda Hai. On casting Kaif after Priyanka Chopra walked out of the project days before filming, Zafar earlier told Filmfare, “Katrina loved the script. She was busy with three big films, Thugs of Hindostan, Zero and ABCD3. But she somehow squeezed in our dates. There have been some amendments in her character.”
Complimenting Kaif on her performance in Tiger Zinda Hai, he said, “Whatever Katrina went through professionally and personally in the past seven years affected Zoya (Katrina’s Tiger Zinda Hai character) on camera. I was pleasantly surprised with the kind of maturity she brought to her role.”
As for Chopra leaving Bharat, Zafar added, “There were a lot of things that she was busy with. As I’ve always maintained, we, as team Bharat, are extremely happy for Priyanka and where she’s in life right now. There’s only happiness between us. We’re friends and will always be friends.”
An official adaptation of 2014 South Korean film Ode to My Father, Bharat is produced by Atul Agnihotri's Reel Life Production Pvt Ltd and Bhushan Kumar's T-Series.
Also starring Sunil Grover, Disha Patani, Tabu and Nora Fatehi, it is slated to release on Eid.
