Salman Khan and Jackie Shroff
At the heart of its story, Salman Khan's Bharat has a strong father-son track. Director Ali Abbas Zafar zeroed in on Jackie Shroff for the part as he believed the actor would bring the required gravitas to the role. Though Shroff, 62, may be barely nine years older than the superstar, he insists he had no qualms playing father to Khan.
"I am aware that the age gap is only 10 years. We started our careers almost around the same time, but I don't have any problem playing his father. I have always treated Salman like my bachcha. Even today, he is like a kid to me," says Shroff, who has worked with him in several films, including Veer (2010) and Kahin Pyaar Na Ho Jaaye (2000).
