In his upcoming movie, London Dreams, Salman Khan deliberately aped the moves of his idol Dharmendra while wooing actress Asin against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. This happened during the filming of the ‘Man Ko Ati Bhave’ song in the movie.

Confirming that Salman’s moves were consciously modeled on the lines of Dharmendra’s, choreographer Rajeev Surti said, “When we were discussing the choreography, Salman suggested that we incorporate Dharamji’s famous moves! He is a big Dharmendra fan and felt that the steps would go really well with the fun feel of the song. He managed to ape Dharamji’s moves perfectly and added his own unique flavour to them!”

Incidentally, when the number was being shot, French President Nicolas Sarkozy had just won the six-month presidency of the EU and, to celebrate, the Eiffel Tower was lit up in the blue and gold of the European flag. “We were lucky to grab that rare sight,” said director Vipul A Shah.
