After collaborating in two successful outings with Salman Khan in Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai, director Ali Abbas Zafar is preparing to work for their third collaboration in Bharat. Zafar said the offer to direct the film, which is a remake of the 2014 South Korean film “Ode To My Father”, came to him from Salman Khan himself.

That film came to me from Salman himself. He gave me the film and said he really likes it and asked me to watch it. I saw it and really liked it. (But) You can’t make the film exactly how it is in the original. The socio-political scenario affects your story and the character. But I liked the basic crux of the film. Salman Khan said after ‘Tiger…’, you do this,” Zafar told reporters.

Ode to My Father was directed by Yoon Je-kyoon and the film is about a young boy’s promise made during the chaos of the Korean War.

The movie’s remake rights have been bought by Salman Khan’s brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri. The Hindi film will reportedly be set during India-Pakistan partition. Ali has not shared more about the basic plot.

When he was asked if anyone apart from Salman Khan has been cast yet, Ali said presently the film is at an early stage. “We will begin March onwards. I want to sleep for a month. We are at the elementary stage,” Zafar said.

Earlier, sharing about his relationship with the superstar, Zafar said in an interview, “He is like an elder brother to me. I am just four films old. His vast experience makes my work look mature.”

The movie will go on floors this year.
