It had earlier been reported that  Baaghi 2  actress Disha Patani had joined the cast as well. Further, Sunil Grover too has  bagged a role in the film. It has been reported that his role would not be run-off-the-mill where the comedian comes in, makes a few jokes and is then lost in oblivion. He will essay the role of Khan’s friend in the film. Bharat is reportedly going to be shot in Punjab and Delhi, and then later in Abu Dhabi and Spain.
