Ali Abbas Zafar’s ambitious period drama Bharat that stars Salman Khan, Priyanka Chopra, Disha Patani, Tabu, Aasif Sheikh, Shashank Arora and Sunil Grover has kick-started its shoot. Senior actor Jackie Shroff has also been roped in to star in the film. He will be reuniting with Salman after a gap of eight years and plays the small but significant role of his father in the film. Salman and Jackie were last seen together in the film Veer which released in 2010.

Bharat is the official remake of South Korean film Ode To My Father. Salman and Priyanka will be sporting five different looks in the film as their character journeys through time and grow older. A new image of Salman has come out which made us wonder whether it’s his look from the film. Fashion designer Ashley Rebello shared Salman's picture on his Instagram account and wrote, "Sk in Bharat one day down many more to go".

Salman plays a daredevil stunt motorcyclist in the film whereas Disha plays a trapeze artist. The first shooting schedule of the film has started in Mumbai’s Filmistan Studio where a larger-than-life set has been erected 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. The new image that has emerged of Salman shows him wearing a black leather biker’s jacket and that has raised the speculations on his first look from the film.

Priyanka who is teaming up with Salman after almost a decade will also start shooting for the film. Apparently, the Mumbai schedule will end with a Holi song picturized on the lead stars. Apart from Salman and Priyanka even Disha is supposed to undergo look changes in the film. Reportedly the film begins with a modern-day elderly couple played by Salman and Priyanka who reminisce about their past and how they eventually found love in each other and get married.
