Salman Khan to honour Raj Kapoor in Bharat

28 May 2018

By now everyone inBharatwho is a Salman Khan fan knows thatSalmanis doing a film on the journey of man from Indias independence in 1947 to present day. The film aptly entitled Bharat would have a segment located in the circus.This segment, saysdirector Ali Abbas Zafar , would be directly inspired by Raj Kapoors MeraNaamJoker.Further to this news on a heartening homage, comes the information thatSalmanwould be seeking creative advice from Dharmendraon how to approach the circus portion of the story. For those who came in late,Dharmendra played a pivotal part in MeraNaamJoker.RecallsDharamji, Working with RajKapoorSaab was a dream come true for me. I had idolized him andDilipKumarSaab long before I became an actor, when he offered me a role in MeraNaamJoker I just grabbed it. No questions asked. Now whenSalmanwho is very close to me and my family is doing something similar Id be most happy to advise him in whatever way he wants. When I suggest that Salmans love and reverence forDharamjiis similar to what the veteran actor felt for RajKapoor,Dharmaji protests, Arrrey nahin wohzamana hi kuch aur tha. Dilip Saab,RaajDev Saabalaghastithe (that era was something else those actors were a breed apart). Also Read: Tabu joins Salman Khan, Priyanka Chopra in Bharat and this will be her role
