Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor's towel moment in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Saawariya" inspired three male participants of "Splitsvilla 4" to make an appearance in towels in the opening episode of the reality show.

The show will go on air Friday.

According to a source, the boys gladly flaunted their muscles as they stood atop sand-dunes in Dubai, while 13 girls tried to woe them with a task.

The show is about select boys finding the girl of their dreams on national television after putting 13 girls through gruelling tests.
