With over 200 films to his credit, the actor’s journey in cinema has been nothing short of legendary. Fans fondly call him the He-Man of Bollywood.

The answer might surprise you. It is none other than Salman Khan. Yes, Dharmendra believes Salman would be the perfect choice to play him on screen. During an old interview promoting his film Second Hand Husband, the legendary actor said, “I think Salman can do it. Salman is a darling. He has some habits like me… he’s gone on me.” Salman Khan has always admired Dharmendra. He often calls the legendary actor his inspiration, both on and off the screen.
