No, that's not Game Of Thrones' Peter Dinklage instead that's Tariq Mir, an artiste from Kashmir who has reportedly been roped in for a circus sequence in Salman Khan's upcoming film Bharat. Designer Ashley Rebello shared a picture of himself with Tariq Mir from the sets of Bharat, which sent the Internet into a meltdown. In the picture, which is now crazy viral, Tariq Mir is dressed almost like Peter Dinklage's character Tyrion Lannister. "A Lannister in Bharat... what a jam," read a comment on Ashley Rebello's post. The makers of Bharat are recreating the circus of the late sixties for the film's opening sequence (more about that later) and it seems Tariq Mir will be a part of it.
This isn't the first time Tariq Mir has bamboozled the Internet. In June, filmmaker Imtiaz Ali met Tariq Mir in Kashmir on the sidelines of the Pahalgam festival. He shared this picture:
Back to Bharat - A statement from the filmmakers read that an elaborate circus sequence has been envisaged as the film's opening shot. Salman Khan plays the role of a daredevil stunt motorcyclist while actress Disha Patani has been roped in for the role of a trapeze artiste in the circus entourage. Many international artistes have also been roped in to feature in the sequence. On Wednesday Ali Abbas Zafar also shared a glimpse of what could be the film's opening shot.
He shared this photo of Salman, entering "rings of fire" on a bike:

Bharat, produced by Salman's brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri, also features Priyanka Chopra, Tabu and Nora Fatehi. The film is the Hindi adaptation of South Korean film Ode To My Father and it is slated for Eid 2019 release.
