Malayalam filmmaker Siddique, who makes his Bollywood debut with the Salman Khan starrer Bodygaurd , said he had to make certain changes in the script of the original Malayalam blockbuster, to do justice to Salman's macho image.
" In the original film, Dileep is shown as a college dropout who becomes a Bodyguard, but I knew Salman would have failed to look like a college student," the filmmaker said.
" Changes in the script have to be made in order to make it suitable for the stars in the movie. Fans have certain ideas in mind when they go to watch their favourite actors' films," he adds.
Siddique said he had heard a lot of stories about bollywood alisters habit of throwing their weight around and Salman's bratty ways in particular. Prior to starting the movie's shoot, but admitted his experience proved otherwise.
" I had heard stories about stars throwing tantrums and indiscipline in Bollywood. But, it was not the case when I worked here. Salman is a director's actor."
Siddique now plans to extend his stay in Bollywood. " The reason is simple. Movies have a vast scope out here, as against the 600 prints released down south, we have around 2500 prints distributed here on the release of a film. But, it all depends on the kind of films I get," he added.
Believe it or not, Siddique has already made Bodygaurd three times - in Malayalam, Tamil and Telegu, with actors Dileep, Vijay and Venkatesh in the lead.
