As an actor, he has impressed us with his performance in films such as Daraar, Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya, Hello Brother, Qayamat and Shootout at Lokhandwala. Now he is all set to don a new hat, that of a producer, with his maiden home production Dabangg. Yes...ladies and gentlemen we are indeed talking about the one and only Arbaaz Khan.

JonaSallu : How was it telling your older brother what to do?
Arbaaz Khan : Jona...u knw Salman is a very experienced actor and star. so when I took the script to him and told him that this is the film i want to produce, he kind of was excited from the word go. He got involved and really worked hard and contributed a lot to his character and the film. Salman does listen to any great input so there was no problem of him listening to either me or the director when he felt we were giving the right suggestions
