Mumbai, May 14 (IBNS): As Salman Khan's upcoming movie Bharat's release will coincide with India's first World Cup match, director  Ali Abbas Zafar said that India will witness ' great time for entertainment' in June.

"“India will play and win the first match, and our film will enter cinemas. It’s a great time for entertainment in June," Zafar told Mumbai Mirror.

He said the World Cup schedule was not known by the makers of Bharat when the release of the film was decided.

Salman Khan always delivers one hit movie during Eid celebration every year.

Last year, he was seen in Race 3.

Bharat will see Salman reunite with Katrina Kaif once again for a movie.

Zafar told the newspaper: "When we announced the film, the World Cup schedule was out. It’s a coincidence that India’s first match and Eid fall on the same day.”
