We were among the first ones to tell you that Priyanka Chopra has been roped in as Salman Khan's leading lady in Bharat. And now, Salman has welcomed Priyanka to Team Bharat in his own iconic way. Bhai took to Twitter to say, "#Bharat .. welcomes u back home @priyankachopra . See u soon .. By the way humari film Hindi hai ;) [sic]". Isn't this hilarious?!

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!

Coming back to Salman's tweet, we cannot wait to see how PeeCee responds to it! As of now, Salman has already started shooting for the movie and Priyanka is in Ireland wrapping up the third season of Quantico.
