Salman Pays A Tribute To Chiranjeevi

That Salman Khan is  a huge Chiranjeevi fan is  a well-known fact . They don’t only share a mutual admiration for each other’s work, but also share family ties.When Chiranjeevi’s son Ramcharan Teja was  shooting for his Hindi debut film(Zanjeer) in Mumbai, home-made food was sent from Salman’s residence every day to Ramcharan’s sets.

 Salman has now  found a new  way  to honour Chiranjeevi. In Dabangg 3 which opens in December, Salman would be  doing his first “item song” entitled Munna badnaam hua, a male version  of the  popular Munni badaam hui performed  in the first Dabangg  film by MalaikaArora.

And here’s where Salman will pay a tribute to  Chiranjeevi.  On Salman’s insistence choreographer-director Prabhudheva has incorporated  Chiranjeevi’s  celebrated “Veena step” where he glides  in the shape  of  the  Indian  musical instrument , the Veena.

 A  source  close to the  film reveals, “Salman wanted to attempt  a different  kind of dance move in Munna badnaam. That’s where he came  up with Chiranjeevi Sir’s famous   ‘Veena step.’ Prabhudheva was more than happy to  incorporate it.”
