Reigning South Indian actress Trisha will be the heroine opposite Venkatesh in the Telugu remake of director Siddique's Malayalam super hit Bodyguard (2010), being remade in Tamil as Kaavalan with Vijay and Asin and in Hindi with Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor.
Notably, this is the second time Trisha and Venky are working together after the hit Aadavari Matalaku Ardhalu Verule.
This (untitled) Telugu version of Bodyguard will be remade by the original director himself and produced by C. Venkataraju and Sivaraju. The shooting is expected to commence after Venkatesh completes ongoing Nagavalli, a sequel to Kannada super hit Apta Rakshaka.
