MUMBAI: Going by the amount of money that Salman Khan’s Bodyguard had raked in Andhra Pradesh, producer Bellamkonda Suresh has decided to remake the film in Telugu titled Ganga-The Bodyguard.
The script of the film, which will have Venkatesh playing the lead, will be altered to meet the sensibilities of the Telugu movie buffs.
The Malayalam and the Tamil versions of Bodyguard, directed by Siddique, preceded the Salman Khan-starrer and the Telugu version will, thus, complete the square.
While the Malayalam version of Bodyguard had Dileep and Nayantara in the lead, the Tamil version titled Kaavalan had Vijay and Asin in lead. Bodyguard stars Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor.
The film, directed by Malineni Gopichand, is being shot on a rapid pace and is expected to release on 21 October.
