Instead of receiving any gift on his 52nd birthday, Salman Khan has given an exciting gift to his fans by announcing his new film, ‘ Bharat ’! It’s not a single or double, but a triple celebration moment for Salman Khan . The first is that Bhaijaan just turned 52 today, the second is, his film ‘ Tiger Zinda Hai ’ is doing exceptionally well at the ticket windows and the third exciting news is, that his upcoming film, ‘ Bharat ’, will now be jointly produced by Bhushan Kumar of T-Series and brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri . The cherry on the cake moment is, ‘ Bharat ’ will be helmed by director Ali Abbas Zafar , who has already given two blockbusters with Salman in the form of TZH and ‘Sultan’. Speaking about T-Series coming on board, Atul Agnihotri says, “In life, you just click with some people. Bhushan and I have interacted many a times in the past. His sensibility for content matched with ours. So having T-Series on board with us on Bharat was a very smooth and organic process for both of us.”

About coming on board for Bharat, Bhushan Kumar says, “We have had a long-standing association with Salman Khan from when we acquired the music of ‘ Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya ’. We produced Bhai’s two other films ‘ Lucky: No Time For Love ’ and ‘ Ready ’, both of which were successful collaborations. Atul and I gel well and we decided to join hands on Bharat, a human drama that is bound to touch you beyond measure.”

‘ Bharat ’, which will be helmed by Ali Abbas Zafar , is set to release on Eid 2019.
