Interesting facts

  • Based on: Bodyguard

Bodyguard is a 2012 Indian Telugu-language romantic action comedy film produced by Bellamkonda Suresh under the Sri Sai Ganesh Productions banner and directed by Gopichand Malineni. The film stars Venkatesh, Trisha and Prakash Raj with music composed by S. Thaman. It is a remake of the 2010 Malayalam film of the same name.

Production

After finalising on the remake, producer Bellamkonda Suresh and actor Venkatesh approached Siddique, the director of the original Malayalam version to direct the Telugu version. He declined the offer, feeling that after remaking the Malayalam original in Tamil (as Kaavalan) and Hindi (under the same title), "another time would be an overkill for me". Later, Gopichand Malineni was chosen as the director.
