The film ‘Bodyguard’ originated in the Malayalam cine circuit and since then it has been making rounds across different cine circuit scoring blockbuster hits. And now, it has reached the Tollywood circuit. But many say that this ‘Bodyguard’ may not actually work well at the box office. The film starring Venkatesh and Trisha in the lead is being directed by Gopichand Malineni. The market pundits say “Already, a major part of the Telugu audience has seen the Hindi version starring Salman. As such, there is still that population which has not been tapped but its presence is already felt.” A film buff said, “A few scenes and flow in Bodyguard resembles to that of Dasarath’s Santhosham. Then, how differently it brings freshness to audience at least with emotion part”? They add “With ‘Bodyguard’ seen by different audiences in different languages, what difference will Venky bring with his film? Moreover, there is not much gap between the release of Hindi version and Telugu version. So, how it will appeal to Telugu audience? The only option for Gopichand Malineni would be to tweak the script a bit to bring the difference.”
