They say that imitation is the best form of flattery. The Salman Khan from once upon a time who was seen to pay

homage to veteran actor Dilip Kumar by imitating him ever so often, has over the time evolved into an icon worth impersonating for the newest crop of Bollywood actors.

And topping this list of Sallu's admirers in none other than (Salman's own very favorite) Imran Khan.

The Delhi Belly star in his upcoming film, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, also starring Salman's ex-flame Katrina Kaif and Ali Zafar has imbibed the style of many-a-Sallu liners and dhinka-chika moves - if, the first trailers are anything to go by!

This upcoming release revolves around Imran's character which is shown to be in search of a perfect bride for his brother. In an interesting turn of events, after the perfect lady is found, and married to his brother, Imran finds himself falling in love with this bhabhi, enacted by Katrina Kaif.

Trailers are reflecting that Imran's admiration of Sallu implemented via imitation goes almost a tad over board. An example, for the uninitiated, is the scene where Katrina states that eloping in love is not easy, Imran retorts with Salman's popular liner from Wanted .. "Ek baar jo maine commitment kar di, uske baad toh main apne aap ki bhi nahi sunta."

In another sequence he is seen pulling off Salman's larger-than-life 'towel-between-the-legs' step from 'Jeene Ke Hain Char Din (Mujhse Shaadi Karoge); as well as the belt snapping move blockbuster Dabbang.

Slated for release on September 9th, the trailers of this movie have been aired, and liked - for the Sallu-likeness, or otherwise!

The camaraderie between this older and younger Khan duo has been on the rise, what with Salman making public recommendations for recently released Delhi Belly, and now Imran's onscreen tribute to the macho senior. A reaction from Salman over these 'flatteringly imitating' trailers is yet awaited!
