Salman Khan takes favours for his family!

Salman Khan is a family man or so it seems considering that the actor is signing one family sponsored project after the other. The actor, who is all set to be seen in brother Arbaaz Khan’s production ‘Dabang’, will next be seen working on brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri’s Hindi version of southern super hit ‘Bodyguard’.

The Malayalam film, which was originally to be made in Hindi by Boney Kapoor, will now be produced by Atul Agnihotri after Salman personally asked Boney to hand over the reins to his beloved brother-in-law.

Buzz has it that Boney had bought the rights to remake the southern super hit and had even laid out all plans to get the film on floors. But after Salman personally requested the producer to hand over the rights to Atul Agnihotri, Boney obliged the actor’s demand with keenness.

Talking about the incident, a source told a daily, “Boney did not hesitate to give up remaking ‘Bodyguard’. He loves Salman too much and considers the actor’s wish as his command.”

Confirming the news, Boney said, “It’s fine if Atul will make it with Siddique. Salman was keen that Atul should make it and I have no issues whatsoever. I have not done anything great. I was simply on the verge of buying the rights of ‘Bodyguard’. Salman is family to me. I love fulfilling all his wishes and will always continue to do so.”

As for Atul, he is much too pleased with Sallu ringing in favours for him. “I am quickly going to finalise the heroine and most of the things will be in place by end of next week. However, I am not aware that Boney too was interested in making the same film. Salman is very happy that I am producing it. Siddique will direct the film,” said Atul.
