Known most for belonging to one of Bollywood’s most influential families, for being the younger brother of the beloved superstar Salman Khan, and for his hand in producing one of the most successful action trilogy, Dabangg, in Bollywood, also starring his older brother, Arbaaz Khan is an Indian actor and producer, who first stepped foot in the industry back in 1996.
Born to father Salim Khan, a talented screenplay writer, and mother, Sushila Charak, Arbaaz had the privilege and head start of establishing himself in the industry. However, we are unsure if he played his cards correctly. The actor is known to have started his career with Hindi movies, starring in them as leads and supporting roles.
His debut film was Daraar, where he played the leading role of a psychotic husband who used to beat his wife. He was so good at it that he was awarded the Filmfare Award for Best Performance in a Negative Role, a precious award function at the time.
The actor has starred in successful movies, including the likes of Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya and Garv: Pride and Honour. He is most known and loved for his evil roles, as he seems to have a knack for it, especially in movies Qayamat: City Under Threat, Fool and Final, and the Telugu film Jai Chiranjeeva.
His list of movies does not go for long since the actor turned to producing films in 2010, fourteen years into his acting career. Sometime in September 2010, we witnessed the launch of Dabangg, his first-ever production starring Salman Khan, and we all know what a mega-hit that turned out to be.
The second installment to the Dabangg franchise ended up being his directorial debut, and while the movie was, once again, a hit, we are not quite sure about the core plot of it. The exaggerated, leading character with superhuman-like strength, out to get justice for the weak, a Robinhood of sorts, seemed to have worked well with the audience.
Being a part of such a wealthy and influential family has done the actor good. Let us tell you all about his net worth and earnings over the years.
Arbaaz Khan’s Net Worth
Having worked nonstop in the industry and always being at the top of the game, coming from a well-respected family, one that has networks all over, Khan has stayed at the top despite his failures. His ventures in the south of the country and his acting and production gigs have managed to get the second Khan of the family net worth of 60 million dollars (Rs. 500 Crore).
Sure, his family’s legacy precedes Arbaaz’s name, but the man has worked hard still to get where he is. Films like Daraar did well at the box office, but what followed was a string of failures. This did not mean that his career was going to tank.
He did appear in small roles in cult classic comedies like Malamaal Weekly, Bhagam Bhag, and Hulchul, though he did not do much to add to their success. His movies did not even come close to being as successful as those of the oldest Khan brother, but there were other ways for him to make a name for himself.
The one thing that surely added to his net worth is his Dabangg franchise, one that he produced and directed under his production house, Arbaaz Khan Productions. The three installments to the franchise have broken old records and set new ones.
With a fourth installment under work, fans wait patiently for the two brothers to collaborate once again. The actor has been a part of Telugu projects as well, Jai Chiranjeeva and Kittu Unnadu Jagratha, and recently made his debut in the Malayalam film industry with a role in Big Brother, an action thriller movie.
His career as an actor and producer has brought his net worth to where it stands today, especially what he made out of the Dabangg movies, a career move that could not have worked out any better for him. While Dabangg has been the only thing Arbaaz is mostly known for, he continues to thrive, spreading his wings to the industries in the south as well.
