Bollywood super star Salman Khan who plays a bodyguard in his upcoming film of the same name has chosen to wear the uniform of his personal bodyguard Shera, turning down offers from several security agencies trying to get him sport their clothing in his next release."There were many agencies who were vying to get Salman Khan to wear the uniform of their company. The companies were hard selling their uniforms, as it would have done wonders to their business, if Salman was seen wearing their uniform since it was integral to the narrative of the film," sources said.
However, the actor who has a heart of gold, put his foot down, and decided to wear the uniform of his personal bodyguard Shera even though, people were ready to offer him money to the tune of Rs 7 crores, just to sport their uniform.

Producer Atul Agnihotri said they have been getting calls from various security agencies from the day the film was announced.
"However Salman was absolutely clear that he wouldn't wear any agency's uniform. Shera is his personal bodyguard..
he is close too and has used his name as a tag," he said.
Bodyguard will be Salman's trilogy of Eid releases.
