Talking about the film, Katrina had said, ““I told Ali that I’d join the cast only if the character is strong enough. Kumud is that character. I went through a lot of prep work and attended workshops, because this role was challenging. The character spans 40 years in the film. Also, it’s a big-budget holiday release, so it will reach a wide audience.”

Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, Bharat also stars Katrina Kaif, Jackie Shroff, Sunil Grover, Tabu, Nora Fatehi and Disha Patani. It is an official remake of Korean drama An Ode to My Father.
