In Salman Khan’s upcoming movie Bharat, Varun Dhawan will reportedly play the role of the Reliance founder Dhirubhai Ambani. The film is directed by Ali Abbas Khan, and also stars Katrina Kaif as the lead.
A source close to the movie says in a Times Now report, “Ali and team are keeping the details of Bharat under tight wraps. Though we all know that the film is a remake of the Korean flick Ode To My Father, the team has been pretty discreet about their given roles. But yes, Varun Dhawan, who has joined the cast for a small role, will be seen playing the younger version of a well-known Indian businessman.”
The source also clarified, “Earlier it was unclear whether Varun’s cameo would be a song or a role, but now it is known that he will be seen playing the younger version of the late Dhirubhai Ambani in Bharat.”

According to a DC report, a source says about the characters in the film, “Varun will have the audiences smile because they will realise that he is indeed playing the character of Sr Ambani (Dhirubhai Ambani). The character has been used primarily to show certain important facets of the pre and post partition days. In fact, another interesting thing in the film is that Katrina Kaif is playing Salman Khan’s boss in the movie,”
Bharat marks the third collaboration between Salman Khan, Katrina Kaif and Ali Abbas Zafar. Zafar directed Khan in Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai. Katrina Kaif was part of Tiger Zinda Hai and Mere Brother Ki Dulhan.
The movie also stars Tabu, Disha Patani, Sunil Grover and Jackie Shroff. Music has been composed by Vishal Shekhar. It is jointly produced by Reel Life Productions, T-Series Films and Salman Khan Films, and is scheduled to release on Eid next year.
