It's
confirmed!
Kareena
Kapoor
will
star
opposite
Salman
Khan
in
brother-in-law
Atul
Agnihotri's
next
project,
a
remake
of
the
Malayalam
hit
Bodyguard.
There
was
speculation
that
Katrina
Kaif
would
essay
the
lead
role,
but
Atul
clarifies,
"See,
we
have
already
decided
to
release
our
film
during
the
Eid
week
next
year.
Since
Katrina
has
committed
her
dates
to
other
projects,
we
decided
to
cast
an
actor
whose
dates
would
match
with
Salman's
and
would
facilitate
the
release
of
the
film
during
the
festive
week
next
year."
However,
this
combo
-
Salman
and
Kareena
-
hasn't
delivered
a
Hit
in
the
past.
"It
all
depends
on
the
film
and
how
the
audience
takes
to
it.
Why
blame
a
pair
for
its
failure?
Besides,
they
may
be
third
time
lucky
with
my
film," Atul
smiles.
Meanwhile,
Atul
is
keen
on
calling
his
film
Bodyguard,
not
My
Love
Story
or
Meri
Love
Story.
Directed
by
Siddique,
the
film
has
music
by
Pritam.
