Mumbai, July 15 — Choreographer Salman Khan, who is wowing judges on
"Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa" with his outstanding moves, is in awe of his
Bollywood namesake Salman Khan and says that nobody can take the actor's
place in his heart.
The namesakes worked together in the title song of Prabhu Deva directed "Wanted".
Talking
about his experience with the actor, Salman told IANS: "It was too
nerve wrecking for me. But he was extremely sweet to me. He sat me down
and we had food. He asked me about my background, my family, and my
education. He just made me so comfortable. I was a fan of his, but now I
have double respect for him."
Praising Salman's warmth, the
choreographer said that whenever they are at the same event, "and if I
am standing far away, he would call me and ask me about my work."
"In
comparison to him, I am a nobody and he doesn't have to give me that
attention. But every time I have met him, he has given me that respect
and there is no replacement for him in my heart," he said.
"As a
dancer, he is a little stiff, but he has his own style for sure. Dancing
is all about style and personification. Every single person has their
own style of dancing and he has got his own style for sure," Salman told
IANS.
His next movie project is his idol Remo Douza, who is one
of the judges on "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa" along with Madhuri Dixit and Karan
Johar, directed "ABCD" (Any Body Can Dance). The film also stars other
professional choreographers - Prabhu Deva and Ganesh Acharya.
Salman says that shooting for "ABC" has been a great fun and teaming up with Prabhu Deva and Acharya was like a dream come true.
"It
was absolutely unbelievable for me. While growing up, I have seen
Prabhu Deva dance on screen and somewhere he has been my inspiration. I
never imagined I will be shaking a leg with him or would teach him some
stuff and learn from him," said Salman and added: "I had interacted with
Prabhu Deva sir during 'Wanted' and he has a soft corner for me."
Salman
had also assisted choreographer-director Remo in "FALTU" and informed
that "from the past three years, I have been with Remo sir. I have
worked with him in 'FALTU' to learn the entire moviemaking process.
Somewhere, I like his style of working."
