As he's keen to get into acting, he's going to rather be the namesake of a superstar.
He had an opportunity to have interaction with the star in the course of the shoot of the music video for Wanted and it was Sallu who suggested he work on his physique. And he promptly obeyed!
Nobody can replace Salman in my heart
Salman, who's wowing judges on "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa" together with his outstanding moves, is in awe of his Bollywood namesake Salman Khan and says that no-one can take the actor's place in his heart.
Talking about his experience with the actor, Salman told: "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 USED TO BE keen on his, but now I'VE double respect for him."
Praising Salman's warmth, the choreographer said that whenever they're on the same event, "and if I'M standing far away, he would call me and question me about my work."
"In comparison to him, I'M a nobody and he doesn't need to give me that spotlight. But whenever I'VE met him, he has given me that respect and there's no replacement for him in my heart, " he said.
"As a dancer, he's a little bit stiff, but he has his own style needless to say. Dancing is all about style and personification. Each person has their very own variety of dancing and he has got his own style for sure, " Salman told.
His next movie project is his idol Remo Douza, who's some of the judges on "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa" at the side of 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" was a really perfect 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'VE seen Prabhu Deva dance on screen and somewhere he have been my inspiration. I never imagined I'LL 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'VE BEEN with Remo sir. I'VE worked with him in 'FALTU' to be told all of the moviemaking process. Somewhere, I LOVE his variety of working."
