Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The film spans 1947 to 2010 with Salman playing Bharat from age 8 to 70—he reportedly spent 5 hours daily in prosthetic makeup for the older portions.
The 'Maut' dialogue became instant meme material, but the film's real controversy was its sanitization of Partition violence to maintain Salman Khan's unblemished hero image.
