<p>''This is not the first time I am working with Salman. I've worked with him even earlier when I used to be an assistant with Ganesh Acharya. But now he has changed; today he is technically stronger. He also gives his inputs for steps," Shabina Khan Ansari told IANS.<br /><br />"Dabangg", a film set in a small town of Uttar Pradesh, will feature Salman in the role of a cop. His younger brother and actor Arbaaz Khan has produced the film while Abhinav Kashyap is the director. The film is slated for a September release.<br /><br />Ansari has choreographed two songs in the film, a romantic track and a hardcore dance number. She gave Salman steps suiting his character.<br /><br />"I created steps for Salman keeping in mind his character and image. He is playing a cop in the film, so I didn't want his moves to be professional like a dancer's. He plays a straightforward person in the film; we kept all that in mind," said the choreographer.<br /><br />"Even Salman really pushed himself. Everyone liked his dancing in 'Wanted'; so he wanted to improve upon that," she added.<br /><br />So what's the strong point in Salman's dancing? "It's his style," said Ansari, without a second thought.<br /><br />"He has his own way of doing steps. Even if I teach him something, he will do it in his own way. But it actually comes out to be nice and audiences love it," she added.<br /><br />"Dabangg", which has music by Sajid-Wajid, also stars Sonakshi Sinha, the daughter of veteran actor Shatughan Sinha. However, she doesn't get to shake a leg in the film.<br /><br />"Sonakshi will not be seen dancing in the film. Her character doesn't demand that, but even in the romantic song, where you see her moving a little, you can see rhythm in her body. She has a music sense and I'm sure she will be a great dancer," Ansari said.<br />She has over 12 years' experience and has been part of several Ram Gopal Varma projects such as "Company", "Bhoot", "Naach" and "Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon".<br /><br />She has also worked on films like "Jashan", "Yahaan", "Aksar" and "Well Done Abba" among others.<br /><br />Currently the choreographer has her kitty full with projects like "Kajraare", which is close to release, "Chai Garam" and "Will You Marry Me".</p>
