Bodyguard's director Siddique has finally signed his second Hindi film for Shyam Bajaj and Narendra Bajaj on Salman Khan's behest. One of the most successful Bollywood filmmakers of this year, Siddiqui, who directed Salman Khan's blockbuster hit Bodyguard, was flooded with Hindi film offers even before Bodyguard released. Finally Siddique has signed his first Hindi film after Bodyguard.
Siddique will direct a film for producers Shyam Bajaj and Narendra Bajaj. 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. Shyam Bajaj confirms, "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 says, "It was nice of Salman to recommend me to 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."
