Speaking of the film, 'Bharat' is directed by Ali Abbas Zafar who has worked with Salman in 'Sultan' and 'Tiger Zinda Hai'. The film also features Katrina Kaif, Disha Patani, Nora Fatehi, Tabu, Jackie Shroff and Sunil Grover. 'Bharat' has been shot in places like Malta, Abu Dhabi and Mumbai. 

The film is an official adaptation of the 2014 Korean film "Ode to My Father", which depicted modern Korean history from the 1950s to the present day through the life of an ordinary man. It is scheduled to release in cinemas during Eid Ul Fitr 2019. 

'Bharat' is the seventh major Indian movie to be shot in Abu Dhabi, and the third this year. 'Race 3' was shot earlier in the year as well as 'Saaho', which features Prabhas.
