‘Bodyguard’ is one of the most successful movies in Kerala that has been getting remade in all other languages. Tamil version with Vijay, Asin is a hit and now Hindi version with Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor released two days ago on the eve of ‘Eid’ is declared a blockbuster while the Telugu version ‘Ganga – The Bodyguard’ with Venkatesh and Trisha in direction of Gopichand Malineni is still in making.
Nothing new that Salman Khan is a face that sells all over India. The Hindi version of film released in Andhra Pradesh on Friday has been exceedingly well received by audience even in ‘B’ class centers. Obviously when Venkatesh arrives in next month, more than the effect on BO collections wise…audience would start comparing Venky with Sallu Bhai who has done dare bare action stunts opening the six packs in the film. One has to wait and see how far Venkatesh will face the heat of Salman Khan.
