Director of one of Bollywood’s most successful films, ‘Bodyguard’, Siddique has all reasons to thank its hero Salman Khan. For, because of the ‘Being Human’ star the noted South director bagged his next project in B-town.

Earlier we had said that Siddique will be directing a film for producers Shyam Bajaj and Narendra Bajaj. Now get to know the story how he got the offer…

According to our reports, apparently last year when ‘Bodyguard’ was being shot, Bajaj who was looking for a good director asked Salman Khan about Siddique who was directing the actor then. Salman had all good things to say about Siddique even before the release of the film.

Confirming the development Bajaj said, "Yes I asked Salman about Siddique and since he was happy the way Bodyguard was shaping up he told me I should work with him."

Post the huge success of ‘Bodyguard’ Siddique had offers from almost every banner possible but since this was a commitment made even before the release of ‘Bodyguard’ he kept his word and told all the producers that he will first fulfill his prior commitment of making the film with Shyam Bajaj and then may consider other offers.

Siddique said, "It was nice of Salman to recommend me to Mr Shyam and Narendra Bajaj, I immediately agreed. I also had to keep my word and I am happy that I will be directing a film for them. There is no doubt that it will be a commercial entertainer."

Indeed, ‘Dabangg’ Salman is a Bade Dilwala (read big hearted)…

Hmmm, now to know the actor who Siddique will sign for his next keep a tab on this space…..
