Development

Initially Pritam was considered to score music for the film and had curated four tunes for the film, but due to creative differences with Salman and Siddique, the former chose Himesh Reshammiya to replace Pritam as the composer. Reshammiya had collaborated with Salman on several of his films, whose music became successful. However, their last collaboration was on Kyon Ki (2005) before parting ways with Salman due to creative differences; Bodyguard marked their reunion after six years. [1] The film was also Reshammiya's only album not to be released under his own label HR Musik, as he was involved in the project in June 2011, and T-Series acquired the film's music rights for ₹6 crore. [2] Since the film was set for Eid al-Fitr (31 August 2011) release, all the songs were composed within one-and-a-half months. [3] Producer Atul Agnihotri had revealed that Pritam's composition for the film "I Love You" would be included in the soundtrack and the film as well, thereby Pritam becoming one of the contributors.
