Salman Khan’s name is about to go up in lights — literally. A new high-rise in Chandigarh is reportedly set to be named after him, with the official announcement expected Thursday in Mumbai. The building, possibly called SK Towers, The Salman Towers, or Salman Khan Towers, marks what appears to be a first: a residential complex in India named directly after a film star. No other actor has had a structure so titled, not even Shah Rukh Khan or Amitabh Bachchan. The project, developed by a local Chandigarh builder and an overseas firm, is said to be a self-contained township with premium amenities, think of it as a luxury enclave with a superstar’s name on the gate. The real estate angle is clear, but the cultural weight? That’s harder to pin down. Is this branding or legacy? The CBFC hasn’t seen Maatrubhumi yet, and Diwali or Christmas 2026 remain the likely release windows. But if the tower goes live as planned, one thing’s certain: Salman Khan’s footprint just got bigger than any red carpet. And no, this isn’t a movie. Yet.
