A li Abbas Zafar has roped in Jackie Shroff for his film Bharat. Jackie will essay the role of Salman Khan’s father in the film. The actors are working together after eight years; earlier they had collaborated for Veer: An Epic Love Story of a Warrior (2010). Bollywood Hungama quoted a source as saying, “The role of Salman’s father may not be a big one, but it’s pivotal to the film and shapes Salman’s character and who he becomes later. It was Salman who wanted Jackie to play this powerful role.” The film is an official adaptation of the South Korean film, Ode to My Father (2014).
