The musical drama is recomposed from the movie The Bodyguard. It maintains story plots and contents of the movie at much as possible and includes 12 hit songs that Whitney Houston sang in the production: I Will Always Love You, I Have Nothing, Queen of the Night, and One Moment in Time. Carole Stennett, a famous British musical theater performer who acted in The Lion King and Peter Pan, will sing several classical songs acting as Rachel Marron.

Plot

When it comes to punctuality and doing duties perfectly, Lovely Singh is unmatchable. Taking great pride, he spares no effort in giving everything to his profession. Summoned for an assignment to guard Divya, the daughter of business tycoon Sartaj Rana, Lovely Singh accompanies her to her campus. He, however, ends up rubbing her the wrong way with his over-protective nature and paranoia about security. She finds him to be a major obstacle in leading a regular campus life. To throw him off-track and get him out of the way, she comes up with a 'master-plan' -- that of trapping him in a fake love affair.
