Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has always been vocal about his admiration for veteran actor Dharmendra. While the Tiger 3 star has maintained a close bond with many industry legends, he has now revealed that after his father, Salim Khan, the only person he looks up to and follows is Dharmendra. This heartfelt revelation has sparked excitement among fans, especially since Salman is reportedly keen on remaking three iconic Dharmendra films.
Salman’s Deep Respect for Dharmendra
Salman Khan has always held Dharmendra in high regard, often calling him the most genuine and humble superstar of his time. Their bond is well known, and Salman has frequently expressed his admiration for Dharmendra’s on-screen charisma and off-screen simplicity. In a recent interview, Salman shared, “After my father, the only person I truly follow and respect is Dharam ji. He has always been an inspiration.”

- Loha (1987) – A cult classic in the action genre, Loha’s gripping storyline could be reimagined with Salman bringing his own style to the character.
A Tribute to a Legend
Salman Khan’s desire to remake these films is seen as a tribute to Dharmendra’s legacy in Bollywood.

What’s Next for Salman Khan?
Currently, Salman is busy with his upcoming projects, including Sikandar, directed by A.R. Murugadoss, and another untitled film in the works. However, if the remakes go into production, they will undoubtedly be one of the most anticipated projects in Bollywood.
Fans are eagerly waiting for an official announcement, and if everything falls into place, Salman Khan’s tribute to Dharmendra could set new benchmarks in Bollywood remakes. Until then, audiences can only hope to see the superstar step into the shoes of his idol on the big screen soon.
