He played a villainous role in the 2003 film Qayamat: City Under Threat, which was successful at the box office.[citation needed] He also played supporting roles in director Priyadarshan's comedy films Hulchul (2004), Malamaal Weekly (2006) and Bhagam Bhag (2006). He played supporting roles as a police officer (Constable Javed Shaikh) and a mobster (Moscow Chikna) in the 2007 multi-starrers Shootout at Lokhandwala and Fool and Final respectively. He also made a cameo, alongside his brother Sohail Khan, in the blockbuster Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na, starring Imran Khan and Genelia D'Souza. In 2009, he starred alongside Sohail in Kisaan and played a villain in Jai Veeru. Khan also appeared in the television serial Karishma - The Miracles of Destiny in 2003, and has appeared in many TV programs from time to time.[5]

He played the main villain in the Telugu film Jai Chiranjeeva starring Chiranjeevi. The movie was extensively shot in Los Angeles, California and Las Vegas, Nevada.

In 2010, Khan ventured into film production with Arbaaz Khan Productions. His first film as a producer was Dabangg, which was released in September 2010. The film starred his brother Salman in the leading role as the anti-hero Chulbul Pandey, alongside Arbaaz as his younger brother Makhi. His former wife Malaika Arora Khan was featured in the popular item number "Munni Badnaam".[6] The film became a blockbuster within the first week of its release and broke several box office records, becoming the second highest grossing Bollywood film of all time at the time of its release.[7] On 12 March 2011, while Khan was a special guest of Australia's Indian film festival, Bollywood & Beyond, he helped his former wife Malaika Arora lead a successful world record attempt in Melbourne. 1235 participants successfully performed a choreographed dance to "Munni Badnaam" from the Dabangg soundtrack.[8]

Controversies

[edit]

Accident

[edit]

On 1 July 2012, a 70-year-old woman was killed by a Land Cruiser owned by Khan, and the woman's family demanded compensation from the actor. However, the Khan family refused to pay compensation to the family, as the old woman had been disowned by her family.[22]

Betting

[edit]

In 2018, Arbaaz Khan confessed to having placed bets on Indian Premier League matches (IPL) in the previous five years.[23] According to a police official, the Bollywood actor admitted that he had been betting on cricket matches for the past five to six years.[24] Thane Police sources also informed that Arbaaz and the accused bookie—Sonu Jalan, a.k.a. Sonu Malad—were brought face-to-face during the interrogation. It was then that Arbaaz confessed about his betting involvement.[25]

Sabotaging

[edit]

Arbaaz Khan, his father Salim Khan, and his brothers Sohail and Salman have been accused by director Abhinav Kashyap of sabotaging his film Besharam and his career. Abhinav directed the Khans' blockbuster film Dabangg.[26][27] Arbaaz Khan replied by saying that they are taking legal action against the director.[28][29]
