Bodyguard is a 2010 Indian Malayalam-language romantic comedy action film written and directed by Siddique. It stars Dileep with Nayanthara and Mithra Kurian in the lead. This film was Nayanthara's comeback to Malayalam cinema after a gap of four years, and it is the first time that Dileep had worked with Siddique. The music was composed by Ouseppachan with popular choreographer-director Prabhu Deva choreographing the song sequences. ^[1][2][3] Bodyguard is considered by many critics as one of the best films ever made in Malayalam cinema and developed a cult following in the years after its release even when many compared it to Hindi film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Dileep's performance was highly praised by other actors for this film.

The film released on 22 January 2010. It has been remade in four other Indian languages: in Tamil, Hindi, Kannada and Telugu. The Tamil and Hindi versions were directed by Siddique himself.
