Director Siddique’s wait for Vijay

Director Siddique of Friends and Engal Anna fame said that he initially narrated the story of the Malayalam film Bodyguard, which he is directing now, to Ilayathalapathy Vijay. However, due to his prior commitment with the Mollywood star Dileep, he started the Malayalam version. The director also said that Vijay is keen on starring in the Tamil remake but his dates are not available in the near future and hence the project has been put in the backburner for now.

Siddique was quick enough to add that he would start the Tamil version once Vijay gives his go ahead. It is worth mentioning here that Bodyguard has Nayanthara as the female protagonist.
