MUMBAI — A new “lookalike” has completely taken over the timeline this week. Videos of filmmaker Sajid Nadiadwala’s younger son Sufyan Nadiadwala have gone crazy viral over the past few days, 24–26 April 2026. The reason? The similarities reportedly aren’t just in appearance; fans have been left thinking that he is acting like a throwback 90s Salman Khan.
The viral clip shows Sufyan walking through Mumbai, and the internet didn’t take long to start the side-by-side comparisons. From the sharp jawline and messy hair to the specific “swag” in his walk, it’s like looking at a still from Maine Pyar Kiya or Saajan. According to The Times of India, fans are calling him everything from “Young Salman 2.0” to “AI-generated Salman Khan”.
Sufyan is the younger son of Sajid Nadiadwala and his wife, Warda Khan Nadiadwala. Sufyan also has an older sibling, Subhan Nadiadwala.
The Genetic Lottery and the “Nadiadwala” Connection
It’s not only that Sufyan looks like him. The way Sufyan is dressed in the video, with a plain blue tee, a pendant, and earrings, is very much like the low-key style Salman Khan made famous thirty years ago. However, the reason people are really making this comparison is because of how deeply the two families know each other.

Sajid Nadiadwala and Salman Khan are far more than just colleagues; they’re true friends, and they’ve made blockbusters like Kick and Judwaa together.
“He looks more like 90s Salman than Salman himself right now,” one viral comment noted. This isn’t just one or two fans, either. As reported by Hindustan Times, the “uncanny” tag is trending across Reddit and Instagram. It feels like a genuine moment of collective nostalgia for a superstar’s golden era.

Is a Bollywood Debut on the Horizon?
Sufyan is currently in his late teens or early 20s, and while he isn’t a full-time actor yet, this viral moment has significantly elevated his profile. With the Nadiadwala family being Bollywood royalty and Sufyan’s elder brother, Subhan, also in the fray, speculation of a debut is already sky high.
According to Moneycontrol, the buzz started on 24 April and hasn’t slowed down since. People are already suggesting he would be the perfect lead for a “retro” romance.
Whether he actually wants to act is still a question, but the internet has basically already cast him in his first five films.
The Nostalgia Engine
So, why are people so obsessed? In an era of polished, high-definition stars, there’s something about that raw, 90s boyish charm that fans clearly miss. Seeing it “reincarnated” in a family friend of the superstar is the kind of feel-good story that thrives on social media.
Whether it’s just a lucky camera angle or a genuine genetic coincidence, the result is the same: Sufyan Nadiadwala is the biggest trending topic in B-town right now. It makes you wonder—if he does decide to join the industry, does having the face of a young legend make the pressure better or worse? Either way, the “90s Salman” vibes are officially back.
