Continuing his trend of booking Eid for releasing his films, megastar Salman Khan has once again locked Eid 2019 for the release of his upcoming film titled Bharat wherein he plays the lead role.
To be directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, who is directing Salman in Tiger Zinda Hai after the stupendous success of their first outing Sultan, the film is an adaptation of 2014 South Korean film Ode To My Father.
Bharat will be bankrolled by Atul Agnihotri, Salman Khan's brother-in-law, who also produced Salman Khan's Bodyguard which was also an Eid release.
"It's a character that I thought would resonate with him (Salman Khan). It's a huge responsibility making a film with Salman as there are big expectations that come with the job. I'm very conscious about Salman's fan base and what they want. And once again, I'm convinced that being a family film it's worthy of coming during the festive time. And anyway, an Eid release is always every producer's preferred choice," Atul Agnihotri said in a statement.
Though nothing has been revealed about the leading lady of the film, some sources reveal that Katrina Kaif may come onboard to romance Salman Khan yet again.
Bharat will be shot in Abu Dhabi, Spain and India. It is expected to go on floors next year in April.
