For Salman the film one of the most difficult projects of his career. "This is more difficult than even Sultan because in Sultan, I had to gain and lose weight. I was shooting and then going to the gym. Here also ('Bharat') it is pretty much the same. To look younger I had to lose weight and then as I age I had to put on weight," Salman said. When asked whether he had any doubts in playing a man in his 70s, the actor said he found it rather interesting. 'No, because I have played it very differently. I have a beard and grey hair. He is a 70-year-old but he is like a 40-year-old. He has swag, style and energy like a young man.
"He has humour, style and his enthusiasm is not over yet. I will play it in a younger way even when I play older characters,' he added. Salman, who is known for being critic-proof courtesy his huge fan following, said "Bharat" is a blend of emotions. 'The title is 'Bharat' and so that amount of respectability should be there. We have given our best to the film. It is not a pseudo-intelligent kind of a film and that is for critics. We have made a film for the audience. 'There are a lot of hardships, struggles, fun and entertainment. He is a middle-class family man."

Katrina Kaif plays the role of Salman's love interest, Kumud. Talking about her character, Kat says, "I count this as my best character. She is a support for Bharat's character throughout the film and so her journey also continues in the film. When I read the script I fell in love with my character. I was very excited to get an opportunity like this. Bharat is once in a lifetime opportunity for me."
