Salman Khan, the remake king of Bollywood!
Remakes have become a trend in Bollywood. Copying movies from other languages and getting inspired from some novels are not new here. Many actors have done remake, but one person who has given maximum number of hits in remake is our Salman Khan. And with this can we call Salman, the king of remake? Read on to decide...
We know that Salman's movies like Wanted, Ready and Bodyguard were blockbusters and remake of south movies. But did you know this: Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega's plot was similar to the Hollywood film While You Were Sleeping? Few scenes of Chori Chori Chupke Chupke were inspired from Pretty Woman and its storyline was similar to Lekh Tandon's Doosri Dulhan. Storyline of Partner was based on Hollywood film Hitch. God Tussi Great Ho was inspired from a village folk but the film's storyline has similarities with the Hollywood movie Bruce Almighty.
Not only this, many of Salman's cameo movies were also inspired once. To name a few, Dhaai Akshar Prem Ki - Remake of the Hollywood film A Walk in the Clouds. Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Saawariya - Based on Fyodor Dostoevsky's short story White Nights. Not to forget, the recent film Son of Sardar, which was also a remake of Telugu film Maryada Ramanna.
