The actor's management have said they are inundated with requests from gay fans for one particular picture.
On the rumours, an insider told The Times of India: "For three days now, we have been getting weird calls from various people who seem to have been so impressed by Imran’s shirtless pictures that they insist he’s the next gay icon.
"Some of them said he’s turning out to be the sex symbol they’ve been waiting for."
Khan told the paper he was unaware of the fuss, but was pleased to have captured another share of the market.
