Since 'ABCD' is a dance film, we have kept the legend alive in every act of the film. While watching it people will get a glimpse of his moves all the way till the end, ' Salman told. The 27-year-old rose to fame after winning the first season popular dance reality show 'Dance India Dance' under the mentorship of Remo.

He has also featured in a song in Salman Khan-starrer 'Wanted' and the title track of 'Rakta Charitra'. Actor-director Prabhu Deva, who stars in the film, will also pay a special song tribute to Jackson alongwith Remo.

Three years later, I was in his house and he said that there was a film and that UTV has decided to back it. 'I was so excited, I just hugged him and thanked him. Since then it feels like I am living in a dream world and I don't want to wake up ever, ' he added. 'Anybody Can Dance' will hit theatres on February 8, 2013.
