<p>“This is my second experience with Salman. The first song I did was for 'Hello'. I directed him in 'Phone ki ghanti bajti hai'. Salman is in reverse mode. His energy level is increasing," Dutt told IANS. <br /><br />“He is so charged up and really out to deliver now. Today, he is a style icon, so whatever he does, people love it, whether its pulling his collar or his shirt. Also, I have noticed that now he puts much more into what he is doing,” he added.<br /><br />Dutt, who has produced and directed a number of television commercials for Indian and international clients like Tata, McDonalds, Godrej and Nokia, is also a name to reckon with in the music video industry. <br /><br />He has directed videos featuring artistes like Asha Bhosle, Hard Kaur, Daler Mehndi, Gurdas Maan and Bally Sagoo, among others.<br /><br />Both “Character dheela” and “Dhinka chika” are currently reigning over the popularity charts. <br /><br />Was he under pressure while directing the songs?<br /><br />“It was smooth sailing, but definitely there was huge pressure on me because when you have a superstar and some great tracks, you have to deliver better than the best. So I'm happy that I could deliver upto everyone's expectations. It's a good feeling,” said the director.<br /><br />Any inputs from Salman?<br /><br />“Salman is one person, if you win over his confidence, he will never even ask you a second question. But for winning his confidence, you need to put your heart and soul into it. Luckily, I had managed to do that, so now he is very comfortable working with me,” said Dutt.<br /><br />“He never interferes once he has confidence in you. He takes his work very seriously and lets you do yours. He surprised me so much with his professionalism,” he added.<br /><br />Directed by Anees Bazmee, “Ready”, a remake of the 2008 Telugu film of the same name, also stars Asin Thottumkal, Paresh Rawal, Arya Babbar and Mahesh Manjrekar. The film will hit the screens June 3.<br /><br /></p>
