Priyanka Chopra's return to Bollywood definitely couldn't have got any better than this! Like, until last week we were cribbing why is she not announcing her comeback film given that the last we saw her was way back in 2016 with Jai Gangaajal. But there...she decided to make our wait totally worth it by signing Bharat with Salman Khan! I mean, not that we didn't know about this exciting development. In fact, we were the first one to exclusively inform you about Priyanka coming on board for Bharat. But now that it's official, our excitement has not only doubled up to see PC back in the movies but also her much awaited reunion with Salman Khan, after almost a decade.
No wonder the internet is equally going bonkers ever since the news has hit the web. Fans cant stop anticipating how beautiful Salman and Priyanka will look onscreen; especially when you recall their adorable chemistry from Mujhse Shaadi Karogi or say Salaam E Ishq. Here, below are a few Twitter reactions:
News of the day! My favourite pair @BeingSalmanKhan and @priyankachopra will ? together in #Bharat after a long wait of 11 years. Their 1st collaboration #MujhseShaadiKarogi was the 1st Bollywood movie I watched. Can't wait for this one! Thanx @aliabbaszafar for this one

Priyanka is equally excited to reunite with Salman on the big screen as she said, "I’m looking forward to working with Salman and Ali after a considerable time. I’ve learnt a lot from them during our previous collaborations and I am excited to see what this one has to offer. I’m also looking forward to working with Atul, Alvira and the entire team. To all my well-wishers who have been patient and supportive, thank you for your constant support and I’ll see you at the movies."
Director Ali Abbas Zafar too spoke about PC's perfect casting for Bharat by saying, "Bharat is a mature, subtle love story and her character is the soul of the film. She stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Salman in his journey and is the catalyst who triggers what will be a turning point in the plot." Speaking of which, it's believed that the film is an official adaptation of the 2014 South Korean drama, Ode To My Father, which depicted modern Korean history from the 1950s to the present day through the life of an ordinary man and events such as the Hungnam Evacuation, and the Vietnam war. However, Ali clarifies, "That film is just the starting point for ours. Bharat starts in 1947 and ends in 2000. It is the journey of a country and also a person, both of whom go by the name of Bharat. We are very happy to welcome Priyanka to the Bharat family. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to play the role
