Arbaaz Khan
Born on August 4, 1967, Mumbai, Arbaaz Khan is the son of the legendary scriptwriter Salim Khan and brother to Salman and Sohail Khan. His debut in ‘Daraar’ (1996) was full of conviction and appreciated by one and all. His negative role of a sick wife beater won him the Filmfare award for the Best Performance in a Negative Role. Standing tall at 5’10, Arbaaz is well built, sharp and crisp no non sense performer in the making. He has not met with a lot of commercial success even though he has starred in some successful flicks like Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya (1998) and Garv: Pride and Honour (2004) acting opposite his brother Salman. His role as a villain in the film Qayamat: City under Threat (2003) has met with success at the Box office and he has also played crucial supporting roles in the hit comedy films Hulchul (2004), Malamaal Weekly (2006) and Bhagam Bhag (2006). He has been very prolific in playing qualitative supporting roles in the likes of ‘Shootout at Lokhandwala’ and ‘Fool and Final’.
Happily married to Malaika Arora, they have been blessed with a son Arhaan in 2003.
Arbaaz Khan is now another actor turned singer!
Arbaaz Khan has a new project coming out named ‘Debangg’ and is keeping all aspects of its production close to his chest. He first announced plans to be a producer for his newest project, ‘Debangg’, and now he will potentially sing for the same project. This adds him to a long list of actors turned singers including Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, and Sanjay Dutt before him.
The duo, Sajid-Wajid has signed on to bring their innovative composing talents to create new beats for ‘Debangg’. Sajid recently said that they are also considering vocals from its producer, Arbaaz, saying, “Though he is busy with his directorial commitments, we have not ruled out the option of putting his melodious voice to some good use in the film.''
You can expect good beats from Sajid-Wajid with their long list of credits and reputation for experimentation and variation. Sajid credited Arbaaz’s talents, saying, “Arbaaz Khan is a great singer in real life. He is popular among his friends and family members for his melodious voice.” Perhaps the range of talents and singing ability he’s trying to showcase in this project will bring Arbaaz the surge of attention that he’s looking for from his fans. Who knows, maybe his singing career will even take off!
Arbaaz’s older brother, Salman Khan plays the lead in ‘Debangg’. For Salman, this marks a departure from his usual role as the cool leading man and instead will play a more rustic character. Since he’s been through this already, maybe Salman Khan will share some singing tips with Arbaaz!
