Salman Yusuf Khan who made a name of himself on the dance-reality show Jhalak Dikhla Ja got his first Bollywood film as a choreographer. The latest season of the popular dance reality show Jhalak Dikhla Ja might have come to an end but not before doing good to one of the choreographers on it. Salman Yusuf Khan who was partner of
Isha Sharvani and amongst the most talented participants on the show has won his first Bollywood film.
It was during one of Salman's performances that Director
Vivek Agnihotri spotted him and zeroed him down as the choreographer of his next ambitious film Freedom. Vivek has been in search of some natural talent and has been traveling the length and breadth of the country for the same.
When quizzed on how he decided to give Salman a break in the film, Vivek said, "Freedom has some very different music by Maestro Rahul Sharma and the song situations are very novel. I needed someone who has no film conditioning or ideas of 'what will work'. I needed very fresh and very creative songs so I zeroed on Salman as he is an 'ideas' man and not just 'steps' man."
Freedom is a socio-political saga which is set in the backdrop of 1970's-2000, having a realistic and rustic take along with various dramatic elements unlike the usual masala cinema. The film is all set to go on floors on October 16.
