Salman Khan has always been close to Telugu superstar Chiranjeevi.

When Chiranjeevi's son Ramcharan Teja was shooting in Mumbai for his Hindi debut Zanjeer in 2012, lunch was sent from Salman's home every day.

Salman found another way to honour Chiranjeevi.

In Dabangg 3, when Salman did his first 'item song' Munna Badnaam Hua -- a male version of the popular Munni Badaam Hui -- Director Prabhudheva incorporated Chiranjeevi's celebrated 'Veena step' where he glides in the shape of the musical instrument, on Salman's insistence.

 

At Chiranjeevi's 60th birthday bash at the Park Hyatt hotel in Hyderabad, Salman took a private jet to make it in time for the party. He even danced to a medley of Chiranjeevi's hits on stage.

Now, Salman is all set to make an extended guest appearance in Chiranjeevi's latest Telugu project.

Directed by Mohan Raja, this film is a remake of the Malayalam hit Lucifer.

Salman is expected to have a long action sequence alongside Chiranjeevi.
