This might be the birthday month for Bhai but there is no respite for the director, who is continuing to work on Bharat.  He wrote further, “Par hum edit mein lage hue hain…” he wrote.

It is to be noted that the film Bharat is an adaptation of the Korean film An Ode To My Father and will depict the history of India through the life of an ordinary man. In the film, Salman will reportedly be donning five different looks, spanning over 60 years. Fans are super-excited to see his Maine Pyar Kiya look recreated for the film.
