Bodyguard,
a
much-celebrated
Malayalam
film
starring

Another
highlight
of
Bodyguard,
penned
by
the
director
himself
(apart
from
its
lead
lady
Nayantara
and
Thyagarajan
playing
prominent
roles
in
Malayalam
after
a
long
time),
is
that
this
is
the
first
Siddique-directed
film
starring
Dileep.
It
is
learnt
that
Manju
Warrier,
one
of
the
most-loved
heroines
of
Malayalam
films,
is
also
making
her
re-entry
with
this
film
produced
by
Johny
Sagarika.
Director
Siddique
said
this
script
was
with
him
for
the
last
two
years.
"It
is
a
typical
fun
movie
with
lots
of
emotion
and
moves
like
a
thriller.
The
film
is
being
packaged
as
a
mass
family
entertainer
like
all
my
earlier
films."
There
