Salman breathes and eats cinema | Bodyguard will release Aug 31

Director Siddique says he loved working with "dedicated" Bollywood star Salman Khan in Bodyguard, and would be more than glad to work with him again.

But he has clarified that he hasn't signed any new film with the actor as yet. "I haven't signed any more films here in Bollywood. But I would love to work with Salman. I have a project in mind, but we haven't spoken about it or finalised anything on it," Siddique told IANS.

The southern director is all praises for Salman. "Salman is very passionate about his work. He is very fit and strict about his workout regime. He literally breathes and eats cinema, by that I mean that he thinks about cinema 24 hours. In all the months that we worked, not even for a minute did I see him tired or restless. He is a very dedicated actor," Siddique said.

Bodyguard will release Aug 31, but Salman will miss it as he leaves on Saturday for the US for treatment of a medical condition that causes him unbearable pain in the head, jaws and cheeks.
