Few stars in Indian cinema command the kind of cross-generational stardom that Salman Khan does. With a career spanning over three decades, the Bollywood megastar has built a fan following that transcends age, geography and language. From single-screen theatres in small towns to massive international markets, Salman’s charisma has remained unmatched. Now, his larger-than-life presence has taken on a fascinating new dimension — thanks to artificial intelligence. A viral AI-generated video imagines what Salman Khan would look like if he were born in different countries, and the internet has been obsessed ever since.
Created by visual artist Sourav Bhomik, the video digitally reimagines Salman in multiple ethnic avatars. The transformation presents him as Brazilian, South Korean, Italian, Australian, American, Japanese, Nigerian and Russian. Each look retains his unmistakable features while blending them seamlessly with regional characteristics, creating a striking global reinterpretation of the superstar.
Social media platforms were flooded with admiration as fans reacted to the AI experiment. Many praised the actor’s universal appeal, claiming he looked “handsome in every ethnicity.” One user wrote, “What a handsome man, looked handsome in every ethnicity.” Another added, “Prime Salman was something else. Lethal face card.”
Some fans had clear favorites. “Korean and Russian are love,” one comment read, while another declared, “Russian version of Salman is killer.” A playful user even joked, “This is 50 shades of Salman.”
The overwhelming consensus? Salman’s charm is borderless.
Salman’s reputation as a style icon isn’t new. In 2004, he was ranked seventh among the most handsome men in the world by People magazine — a testament to his international appeal even before the era of social media dominance.
Now approaching 60, the actor continues to maintain his physique and screen presence with remarkable discipline. Whether it’s his fitness regime or his commanding on-screen persona, Salman has consistently defied age-related expectations in the industry.
On the professional front, Salman was last seen in Sikandar, directed by A. R. Murugadoss. The film also starred Rashmika Mandanna and Sathyaraj in key roles. Despite high expectations, the film received largely negative reviews from critics and underperformed at the box office, collecting ₹184 crore worldwide.
However, if there’s one thing Salman Khan’s career has proven, it’s resilience.
Next, Salman will portray an Indian Army officer in Battle of Galwan, directed by Apoorva Lakhia and co-starring Chitrangada Singh. The film is based on the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between India and China and is scheduled for release on April 17, 2026.
Speaking about the physically demanding role, Salman admitted that training has become more challenging with time. “Every year, every month, every day, it gets more difficult,” he shared at a Mumbai event. He revealed that while he once trained for a role in a week or two, he now dedicates significantly more time to intense preparation involving running, kicking and combat drills.
Beyond Battle of Galwan, Salman also has the Saudi project 7 Dogs and the much-awaited sequel Kick 2 in development.
Whether through AI-generated global avatars or high-octane action roles, Salman Khan continues to dominate conversations — proving that his appeal truly knows no borders.
