Veteran villain-turned-hero Thyagarajan is playing Nayanthara���s dad in a Malayalam film Bodyguard directed by Siddique (remember films like Friends, Engal Anna, Sadhu Miranda?) in which Dileep is the hero. In fact, Thyagarajan shares a great rapport with Dileep as they featured together as father and son in Thilakkam , which was a hit a few years ago.
The latest about Bodyguard is that Thyagarajan plays a rich business tycoon who hires a bodyguard to protect his only daughter played by Nayan (who is making a re-entry into Mollywood after a two-year gap). The film has started rolling in Kottayam at the famous CMS College and is said to be a rollicking comedy which turns into an action thriller.
The buzz is that all eyes of south Indian cinema are on this film, as director Siddique plans to remake it in Tamil with Vijay and in Telugu with Mahesh Babu.
