Comedian Sunil Grover may not be reuniting with Kapil Sharma any time soon but he sure will be rubbing shoulders with none other than Salman Khan on the big screen. Sunil Grover will be a part of the cast of Salman’s next big project titled Bharat, directed by Ali Abbas Zafar.
Sunil’s inclusion in Bharat was announced by the director himself on Twitter on Saturday.
“Welcome @WhoSunilGrover to #Bharat : )” tweeted Ali Abbas Zafar, to which the comedian responded with:
According to reports, Sunil Grover will be playing the role of Salman Khan’s friend in Bharat. Sunil Grover, whose solo innings as a comic on the small screen didn’t exactly take flight, seems to be having a streak of good luck in bagging some meaty roles in Bollywood. The 41-year-old comedian has also been signed by filmmaker Vishal Bhardhwaj for an important role in his new film Chhuriyaan.
Besides Salman Khan and Sunil Grover, Bharat will also star Priyanka Chopra. The film is a remake of the Korean film Ode to My Father. Bharat is scheduled for a Eid 2019 release.
