Salman Khan's dramatic life on the sets of Bharat was summed up by director Ali Abbas Zafar in just one picture. "Ring of fire ..... & Bharat," the director captioned the post, in which he gave a sneak peak of Salman Khan introductory shot for Bharat. In the picture, Salman Khan (with his back facing the camera) can be seen entering the "ring of fire" on a bike in a circus. Salman Khan plays the role of a daredevil stunt motorcyclist in the film and Ali Abbas Zafar earlier told Mumbai Mirror that Salman Khan's introductory scene is based in a grand circus set-up. As per a statement released by the filmmakers, a circus sequence (set in the late Sixties) will be created for the film and international artistes have been signed to feature in it.
