Varun Dhawan has joined the long list of cast members who are a part of Ali Abbas Zafar’s Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif-starrer Eid 2019 release, Bharat. The film, which is an official adaptation of the Korean film An Ode To My Father, and features Disha Patani, Tabu, Jackie Shroff and Sunil Grover in pivotal roles, will see Varun in a special scene in which he will share screen space with Salman.

While Varun chose not to comment, a source close to the development told Mirror, “Ali had recently approached Varun with the idea and the actor readily agreed to come on board. The scene featuring Varun and Salman will be shot in the next few days. On Tuesday, Varun left for Abu Dhabi, where the film’s third schedule kicked off recently.”

Earlier this year, Salman did a cameo in Varun’s Judwaa 2, which was a sequel to his 1997 comedy, and featured Jacqueline Fernandez and Taapsee Pannu as female leads. After long schedules in Mumbai, Malta and Abu Dhabi, the Bharat team will shoot in Delhi and Punjab next.
