Bharath is a popular actor who predominantly work in Tamil cinema. He hit headlines recently for bagging a role in superstar Salman Khan’s upcoming Bollywood film “Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai”.

Bharath is mostly known for his work in the Tamil film industry, though he has worked in films made in other popular languages also. The actor recently hit headlines for securing an important role in superstar Salman Khan’s much-awaited Eid 2020 release Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai. Bharath is working out rigorously in the gym to play his part to perfection in the film which is being directed by Prabhudheva.

Talking about how he happened to bag the part in such a big-ticket flick, Bharath tells a national daily, “Prabhu master is a good friend; I have known him for almost 10 years now. He appreciates good talent and believes in hard work. He has been following my work since 555. I was at Jayam Ravi’s birthday celebrations when he called me to ask if I would be willing to do a pivotal role in a film that he was making with Salman. I couldn’t believe it, but I realised he was serious when he said they wanted me onboard fast because they were starting shoot soon.”

Speculations have been rife that the actor is playing the antagonist in the much-anticipated film. However, when asked for a confirmation, Bharath denied the news. “No, I am not the villain in the film. Randeep Hooda is playing that role. I play a cop, someone who is always with Salman sir’s character. In fact, Prabhu master asked me if I would be okay with the role because I am also playing the hero in Tamil films. But it is a good opportunity for me, a very good role. So, I signed it without any hesitation. Prabhu master told me that I have to look stylish, and rough and tough at the same time. So, I beefed up a bit. I’m still working on my body now,” says the actor.

Bharath has already shot for three days with Salman Khan. Sharing his experience of working with the megastar for the first time, the actor says, “We used to bump into each other when we played CCL matches. But working with him was different. I was a little awestruck when I had to do a dialogue scene with him. But that’s also my fanboy moment.”
