Mumbai: After reports of Salman Khan’s bodyguards misbehaving with a reporter during the ’muhurat’ of a film, here is news that Salman Khan will play a bouncer in a film. This may be the reason why his developing kinship with his bodyguards is for everyone to see. According to sources, Sallu will star in the remake of a south Indian film ‘Bodyguard’. Atul Agnihotri, the producer of the film, has confirmed the news. "Yes. Even though we are still adapting the script to fit the Bollywood audiences, we have confirmed Salman to play the lead role in it, while for the leading lady we are yet to decide and are keeping the options open," he said. Director Siddiqui, who directed the original version, has been roped in for this film as well. "As for the direction of the film, I have known Siddiqui for quite some time now. In fact, we were in talks when he was making the film down south. And now after it has acclaimed fame, I think there is no one better to direct it than him," Atul said. "Right now, we are working on the adaptation of the film. Once this is complete, we will launch the making and finalize of the lyrics for the songs. Since most of the film has a lot of outdoor shoots, we are looking to start the shoot some where in the last three months of this year, while keeping in mind a tentative summer release for the film," Atul added. Well, now we know what makes Sallu partial towards his bodyguards!
