Salman Khan And Deepika Padukone MASALA News: Well, we must say that Deepika Padukone is one of the luckiest actresses in the filmdom. Believe it or not, but Dips may soon have a chance to proclaim that none other than Salman Khan is her bodyguard!

According to the latest buzz, Salman may turn the bodyguard of Deepika in an upcoming flick, starring the two in lead roles. Reports reveal that the Hindi remake of the South Indian director Siddique’s Malayalam film ‘Bodyguard’, will have Deepika opposite the macho guy Salman.

Our source reveals that a lot of filmmakers had approached Siddique to get the rights for the movie’s Hindi remake, but only Atul Agnihotri could manage to convince the former for the same. Siddique will take up the role of the director and writer in the Hindi version after completing the Tamil.
