Salman Khan Starts Shooting for Ali Abbas Zafar's Bharat - Check out Pic

Bollywood actor Salman Khan has started shooting for his film Bharat immediately after he wrapped up his upcoming film, Race 3. The last few weeks have been extremely tough for him as the hearing in the blackbuck poaching case was announced. Salman was convicted in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case while his other Hum Sath Sath Hain co-stars Saif Ali Khan, Neelam Kothari, Sonali Bendre and Tabu were allowed to walk free. However, Salman's bail plea got accepted after he stayed in jail for two days and now he is back to work.

And now Bhai has started shooting for his next with ali Abbas Zafar. The film maker took to social media to share a BTS still of Salman with a clapboard which has  "Bharat" written on it. "And it begins “Bharat”  @BeingSalmanKhan . A journey of a man and a nation together . Eid 2019," reads Abbas' caption on Twitter.

Since the last few weeks, a lot of speculations are being made about Bharat. There are rumours doing the rounds that both Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra will be seen as Salman's leading ladies in the movie. Shraddha Kapoor's name too was in the running for the project.  A source was quoted by Mumbai Mirror saying, "Priyanka has also worked with Ali in Gunday (2014) and shares a good rapport with him. This film will see the three of them collaborate for the first time."

However, an official statement from the spokesperson of the film has now been confirmed that Priyanka Chopra has joined Salman in Bharat. This is one reunion that we are definitely looking forward to!
