Today, Salman Khan's Tiger Zinda Hai director took to his social media handle to share a happy news.

Sharing a picture of Salman Khan on the sets of the movie BHARAT, Ali wrote, "And it begins “Bharat” @BeingSalmanKhan . A journey of a man and a nation together . Eid 2019." That's right, it is yet another Eid release for Salman Khan and we couldn't be more excited!

While the leading lady of the movie has apparently not been zeroed in on, rumours were rife that it could be none other than Katrina Kaif. However, Ali rubbished the rumours.

He had said, "I haven’t finalised the cast yet. But Katrina is always on my mind when I think of my film’s heroine. She is one of my closest friends and I can tell her anything, she can tell me anything. Yes, we won’t be doing all our films together but I know I can approach her whenever I feel she’s correct for the role. But right now, nothing is decided on Bharat yet."

Katrina too denied the news via her spokesperson saying, "Not at all. There is no truth to this."

The much awaited movie will be produced by Atul Agnihotri and Bhushan Kumar. Are you excited for this one?

There are also reports that Priyanka Chopra could be a part of this as well. However, there have not been any confirmation on this front. The movie is an official adaptation of a South Korean film titled An Ode To My Father. The story is about a man who gets separated from his family during a war and how he manages to reunite with them.

News is that the movie will revolve around Salman Khan's character's 60 years of life. This is the first time Salman will be seen portraying such a role. Apparently, the actor will take the help of prosthetics to carry the role to perfection.
