He’s going to begin shooting for Tiger Zinda Hai soon, but Salman Khan has already begun prepping for an untitled dance musical drama that will go on the floors after TZH. The actor is currently rehearsing at choreographer-director Remo D’Souza’s Andheri studio with his assistants.

Khan essays the role of a father to a 13-year-old girl in the film, but “he will also play a professionally trained dancer,” says Remo, and getting into shape for that, takes time. “Salman is building his core strength right now so as to build a supple and lean body. He needs to lose weight, become lithe and agile like dancers usually are. We haven’t given him any hardcore dance steps yet, just the basic steps. He is undergoing training with my team. They are monitoring his diet and workout exercises. He is following it through. Each step requires a muscle for its movement and Salman is learning to use them accordingly.”

It is learnt that the actor gave his nod when he heard the narration during the shoot of Sultan. Remo is ecstatic about directing Salman. He says, “It’s a dream come true. I am a huge fan of Salman’s. As of now, we don’t know when we will start the shoot; we know it’s after he completes Tiger Zinda Hai and I hope it’s this year.”
