'Bharat' is an upcoming period drama film written and directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, under the banners Reel Life Productions, Salman Khan Films, and T-Series. The film stars Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif, Tabu, Disha Patani, and Jackie Shroff. Based on the South Korean melodrama 'Ode to My Father' (2014)- Ali Abbas Zafar's film traces the history story of man and a country together. During the Partition of India in 1947, Bharat's (Salman Khan) father makes his eight-year-old son promise to lead the household and keep the family together, no matter what.  Bharat's life over a period of 60 years, from 18 to 70 years of age, traces India's post-independence history along with his own personal journey.
 

Salman Khan

Salman Khan is playing the role of Bharat who joins The Great Russian Circus in 1964 and earns a reputation for being a playboy.

He volunteers for the Indian Navy and later holds the family business together during the period leading to economic liberalisation in the 1990s, all the while keeping his promise to his father.
