After viral photo, Tyrion Lannister's lookalike Tariq Mir to star in Salman Khan's Bharat

Salman Khan's Bharat is just getting bigger and better with each passing day. The Ali Abbas Zafar's film boasts of an ensemble cast, apart from Salman of course. Now, there's another interesting entry to the film's cast.

Well, do you remember the Tyrion Lannister AKA Peter Dinklage's desi doppelganger, who went viral after his meeting with director Imtiaz Ali? He is Tariq Mir, a dwarf who looks exactly like the Game of Thrones actor. Interestingly, now he has bagged a role in Salman's film for his close resemblance to the Hollywood star and we cannot contain our excitement.

Celebrity designer and stylist Ashley Rebello took to Instagram to share a picture of himself with Tariq and wrote, “Just see who I am with, on the sets of Bharat, #style #costumes #clothes #films, the game is on.”

Salman plays a daredevil stunt motorcyclist in the film whereas Disha plays a trapeze artist. A larger-than-life set has been erected at Mumbai’s Filmistan Studio to create an Indian-Russian circus-like Raj Kapoor’s Mera Naam Joker. The circus sequence will be the introductory scene of Salman and Disha and it would be wonderful to see Tariq feature alongside the two actors.
