/> Salman's other brother Arbaaz is turning producer. And he wants to make sure he will present his star-bro Salman like never before.

Hence while Sohail has been producing all the cool-dude Hello Brother type of slick flicks for Salman, Arbaaz is taking Salman comoletely out of his comfort zone in Arbaaz Khan Productions' Dabang, which means fearless.

And fearless is what Arbaaz and Salman intend to be in Dabang.

The film to be directed by Anurag's brother Abhinav Kashyap will feature Salman as a boorish uncouth corrupt cop in a Noth Indian town of Bihar or Uttar Pradesh.

For the first time in his career Salman will be discarding his dude-with-an-attitude persona to play a protagonist who is reprehensibly corrupt in nature uncouth in appearance.This would be Saif's Omkara with the law on its side.

Yes Salman did play a smalltown goon in Tere Naam. But never scruffy and unwashed with such vengeance.

Salman will also have to master a Bihari-UP dialect for the first time.

According to sources the look will echo Abhishek Bachchan's North Indian goonda act in Mani Ratnam's Raavan.

Arbaaz Khan who is holidaying with wife and son in London says, "The idea is to not just cast Salman because he's my brother. But to cast him in a role that he has never done before.

Dabang is a new challenge for me. When Abhinav came to offer me a role in the script I immediately wanted to produce the film. For long I had been toying with the idea of turning producer. This was just the excuse I needed to take the plunge."

Arbaaz does have a role in Dabang. But the main part is of course Salman's.

Says Arbaaz, "It isn't as if I've deliberately set out to do something different with Salman from what Sohail does. But trust me, this will be a Salman Khan his fans have never seen. No point in turning producer if I can't cast my superstar-brother in a challenging role."

About casting Shatrughan Sinha's daughter Sonakshi Arbaaz says, "There's no point in casting a heroine who's already been seen four times with Salman. I wanted to cast a stunning new girl and Sonakshi fitted the bill. She has lost a lot of weight. She still needs to lose a little more."
