Bollywood’s legendary ‘He-Man’, Dharmendra, has given the industry two star sons — Sunny and Bobby Deol — both of whom have made their mark in cinema. Sunny Deol, in particular, once dominated the box office with his power-packed performances. Yet, when the veteran actor was asked who should play him in his biopic, his unexpected answer stunned everyone as he didn’t choose either of his sons, but a superstar from outside the family. This actor, widely regarded as a box-office guarantee, often makes headlines for both his work and his personal life. Interestingly, Dharmendra revealed that he would want this very superstar to play his role in a biopic. The two have even shared screen space in a hit film. So, who is the actor in question? The superstar Dharmendra referred to is none other than Salman Khan, who starred alongside him in Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya, featuring Salman and Kajol in the lead roles. Dharmendra made this revelation during a 2018 interview, when he was asked which actor he would like to see portray him if a film based on his life were made. While most people expected him to name either of his sons, his response left everyone surprised. With a smile, Dharmendra said that Salman Khan would be the perfect choice to play him. Explaining his decision, Dharmendra added that Salman Khan could capture his essence well. He described the superstar as a “very sweet child” and mentioned that he shares several of his traits. His choice not to name his sons came as an unexpected yet affectionate gesture. Dharmendra has often spoken highly of Salman Khan, saying that they share a deep bond and similar qualities. The veteran actor has praised him on numerous occasions, while Salman Khan himself has expressed immense admiration for Dharmendra, calling him an inspiration. Known fondly as the ‘He-Man of Bollywood’, Dharmendra has appeared in over 200 films across a career spanning six decades. Even today, the legendary actor continues to remain active and adored in the world of cinema.
