NEW DELHI: The king of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan has one. The first family of India's Hindi film industry, the Bachchans, own one.

Now, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is also looking for a home in Dubai.

Salman has been in Dubai in recent weeks shooting for his brother Sohail's film. But when not on the sets, the action star has been checking out properties in the city state.

Shah Rukh Khan owns a villa in Palm Jumeirah, a man-made island off the Dubai coast. Actor Abhishek Bachchan and his actress wife Aishwarya Rai also own a villa in Dubai.  Salman says he is keen to buy a place in Dubai.

''If I wasn't living in Mumbai for work, then I would surely be living in Dubai,'' Salman Khan told reporters recently.
