Priyanka Chopra and Salman Khan are finally coming together after 10 years and Twitter, just like us, cannot keep calm. Can you blame them though?
After multiple rumors of who the leading lady would be in Bharat, Priyanka has been finalized by director Ali Abbas Zafar himself. This is huge because our desi girl will be returning to Bollywood after 2 years!
We loved Salman and Priyanka’s on-screen chemistry in Mujse Shaadi Karoge, Salaam-E-Ishq, and God Tussi Great Ho and this will be their fourth movie together. We can’t wait to see them in the same frame and looks like fans all around can’t either.
Take a look:
And looks like Priyanka is just as excited as us to join the cast of Bharat:
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.
Even Ali Abbas spoke out about how Bharat is going to be Priyanka’s homecoming and promised fans that it was going to be huge.
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.
He also gave us a few hints on what to expect from PC’s character.
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.
While Salman started shooting for Bharat earlier this week, the rest of the film is said to go on floors by the end of July. The film is the remake of the South Korean film, Ode To My Father and is set to release on Eid 2019.
This casting coup of sorts is definitely making us mark our calendars until Eid of 2019!
