Bharat actors Salman Khan and Priyanka Chopra were last seen together in 2008 film God Tussi Great Ho.
Salman Khan’s Bharat has made cinema goers excited as makers of the film recently announced that Priyanka Chopra is the female lead in the movie. Welcoming the global star of India on board, director of the movie Ali Abbas Zafar said, “Priyanka’s character is the soul of the film. She stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Salman in his journey and is the catalyst who triggers what will be a turning point in the plot.” Even Priyanka expressed her excitement of reuniting with Zafar and Salman for the project as she said, “I’m looking forward to shooting this film and working with Salman and Ali again after a considerable time.” It was only Salman whose comment was awaited on this latest development.
Now, the Dabangg Khan too has taken to his social media account to welcome Priyanka but in his own inimitable style. In his tweet, the actor even joked about Priyanka being a Hollywood star while his film is a Hindi movie. “#Bharat .. welcomes u back home @priyankachopra . See u soon .. By the way humari film Hindi hai ;) . @atulreellife @aliabbaszafar #Eid2019,” tweeted Salman. Salman and Priyanka have earlier shared screen space in Mujhse Shaadi Karogi (2004), Salaam-E-Ishq (2007) and God Tussi Great Ho (2008).
