Priyanka Chopra will be soon back on the home turf and will unite with Salman Khan for Bharat after a long hiatus of 10 years. The film, produced by Atul Agnihotri, will be helmed by Tiger Zinda Hai director Ali Abbas Zafar.
Now in what can be called the biggest casting coup in years, Priyanka termed Salman's film as the quintessential Bollywood movie. Speaking to an international magazine, PeeCee said, "I’ve finished up two films: A Kid Like Jake, which comes out in June. And Isn’t it Romantic?, which comes out Valentine’s Day 2019. I play a spoiled rich woman who is a yoga guru, which is not a thing. [Bharat] is the Indian movie I signed this year. It’s the quintessential Bollywood movie, which I haven’t done in many years. A lot of them were dramatic and thematic. This one’s going to be out and out entertainment. I’m excited! I haven’t been back to do a movie in two or three years now."
Well, we certainly expect a lot from Bharat as the film marks Priyanka's comeback, whose last release was Jai Gangaajal in 2016.
Meanwhile, on joining the Bharat family, Priyanka shared her excitement and said, "Bharat it is! I’m looking forward to begin shooting this film and working with Salman and Ali again after a considerable time. I’ve learnt a lot from them in our previous collaborations and am excited to see what this one has to offer. I’m also looking forward to working with Alvira and Atul and the entire team of Bharat.To all my well-wishers who’ve been so patient and supportive… thank you for your constant support and I’ll see you all at the movies."
Bharat is slated for an Eid 2019 release.
