Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has booked the auspicious date for his 2019 release titled "Bharat". The film is an official adaptation of 2014 South 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. The film was identified as potential content for the Indian audience following its screening at the Berlin Film Festival, which was attended by filmmaker Atul Agnihotri who will be backing "Bharat" as a producer, read a statement. "That film is just the starting point for us, but since it was an inspiration, we wanted in all fairness to officially own it and acquired the remake rights before going ahead with 'Bharat'," Agnihotri, who is also Salman's brother-in-law, said. "Bharat" will be helmed by director Ali Abbas Zafar and will feature Salman as the protagonist. "I feel I contribute better as a producer. Ali is a friend, I love his work and eventually it's all about connecting with the source. If you speak to him, you will realise that Ali is far more passionate about the material," Agnihotri said. "I'm very conscious about Salman's fan base and what they want. And once again, I'm convinced that being a family film it's worthy of coming during the festive time. And anyway, an Eid release is always every producer's preferred choice," Agnihotri said. The film will go on floors in April next year and it will require a lot of travel and elaborate sets. They will shoot in Abu Dhabi and Spain, besides Punjab and Delhi in India. -PTC News-
