Moroccan-Canadian actress Nora Fatehi, whose item song 'Dilbar' from Satyameva Jayate broke several records for its YouTube views, has now been roped in for Salman Khan's next film Bharat.

The film, directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, stars Priyanka Chopra paired opposite Salman and Disha Patani, who essays the role of a trapeze artist.

According to Nora's publicist, the 26-year-old actress will soon be joining the cast of Bharat to play the role of a Latin woman. The plot of the movie will span across many decades and Nora will be seen playing a part in the mid-1980s portion of the film.

The team is impeccable and the combination of Ali sir and Salman sir is perfect. For me, these were reasons good enough to willingly come on board. Looking forward to starting the shoot soon."
