Ali Abbas Zafar to direct ‘Bharat’ thanks to Salman Khan

After the success of 2016’s ‘Sultan’, Salman Khan and Ali Abbas Zafar came together once again for ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ which spelt success once more. Their third collaboration with ‘Bharat’ will be happening thanks to Khan himself.

Zafar explained to PTI, “That film came to me from Salman himself. He gave me the film and said he really likes it and asked me to watch it. I saw it and really liked it. (But) You can’t make the film exactly how it is in the original. The socio-political scenario affects your story and the character. But I liked the basic crux of the film. Salman said after ‘Tiger…’, you do this”.

‘Bharat’ is an Indian take on Korean film ‘Ode To My Father’ (2014). Zafar was reluctant to give away any other details about the cast, “We will begin March onwards. I want to sleep for a month. We are at the elementary stage”.
