Before we even begin this article, let us tell you that NOBODY can play Salman Khan’s roles. He is an institution in himself. But we have gotta spice up Sallu’s upcoming birthday bash by drumming up a list of his iconic roles and which TV star can replicate that…read on: 

Shabbir Ahluwalia: 
The ruggedly handsome hunk of TV would make for a delightful Sallu replica.. Wouldn’t it be amazing to see the actor play Salman’s classic ‘Wanted’ role? We know what a versatile actor he is because we have seen many of his work where he’s kicked ass with panache. What say, fans? Will Shabbir make a perfect badass cop-cum-street-gunda aka Radhe of Wanted?

Rithvik Dhanjani: 
When we are talking Salman’s legendary movies, there’s no way we cannot include Judwa. For the price of one, we got the fun of two Salmans! Who better than the flamboyant Rithvik to step into Sallu’s classic role? The actor can not only dance, but also woo two ladies like a total pro. We can already see this movie becoming a hit.

Vivian Dsena:
The hottest actor of the small screen is an obvious choice to play the hottest actor of Bollywood, no? He can go shirtless and make women drool, just like Bhai did it in Bodyguard. Dsena can play the devoted bodyguard well, no doubt. But also, he would look killer in solid-coloured clothes and glares. Ooooh. Hotness. 

Gautam Rode: 
This hot bod is a must-have when it comes to Salman ‘body’ Khan, no? He can totally ace Sallu’s Bajrangi Bhaijaan. He can be the sensitive Bajrangi as well as the selfless Bhaijaan. What says, girls? Wouldn’t you give a leg or two to watch him rescue a little girl? Of course you’d. Duh. 

Karan Patel:
The self-confessed SRK fan, Karan Patel would graciously fit into Salman’s philandering shoes of Biwi No 1. After all, which actor would deny the opportunity to woo not one, but two sexy ladies? 

Gautam Gulati: 
Gautam Gulati is unabashedly team Salman, so how can he not feature on this list? He would make for a Dabbang star, shaking his hips and wriggling dark shades like Bhai. His ripping muscles can be put on display via fight scenes too. Win-win. Hell, yeah!

Barun Sobti: 
The lover boy par excellence of the small screen, Barun Sobti, will not only lend Prem his quintessential love, but also master the eyes-meet-hearts-flutter trademark of Bharjatya films well. 

Parth Samthaan:
Another Prem, but this one more na?ve and street-savvy. We have the original poster boy of TV, Parth Samthaan, stepping into this role. He can totally sport the famous merchandise of Maine Pyaar Kiya too.
