Katrina does item song in ‘Bodyguard’ for Atul and Alvira

Mumbai: Actress Katrina Kaif agreed to do an item number for ‘Bodyguard’ reportedly at the insistence of Salman Khan’s brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri and sister Alvira.

The item song ‘Aaya Re Aaya Bodyguard….’ features Katrina, Salman Khan and the actor’s real life bodyguard Shera.

The number, which was recently shot at Film City here, will be the title montage in the movie.

Shera, who is Salman’s much-trusted bodyguard for the last 15 years, is making his screen debut with the item song. Co-producer and brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri and his wife Alvira, who are said to be close to Katrina, asked the actress to do an item number for the film.

The song features Katrina as the glamorous girl being wooed by Salman while her bodyguard keeps him at bay.

“The shoot was sensational and very high on energy. Shera was little apprehensive about his act and dance steps but Salman and Katrina urged him on. Salman even helped him with his dance steps to ease the tension. Katrina was also encouraging him to perform well. It will be refreshing to see them together on the big screen,” co-producer Atul Agnihotri said.

‘Bodyguard’ is a romantic action film starring Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor.
