Salman Khan has opted for Deepika Padukone instead of Katrina Kaif for the remake of South Indian film, ‘Bodyguard’.
Salman Khan’s brother-in-law, Atul Kulkarni is going to remake the film in Hindi. He suggested Kat’s name for the film but Salman wants to have Deepika on the board.
A source quoted, “Salman is keen on working with Deepika. He feels they will look good on screen. When Atul suggested Katrina’s name, he shot it down saying the project needed a fresh pairing. He’s watched the original and thought Deepika would fit the role perfectly.”
But, it is good news for Deepika as she always wanted to work with the heartthrob and finally the opportunity has knocked her doors.
Atul’s remake will be Salman and Deepika’s debut as a pair. Though both the stars had an opportunity to work in Anees Bazmee’s ‘Ready’, it was canceled at the end and Asin was roped in.
