Salman Khan is considered to be the biggest superstar of Bollywood today. His popularity is such that today his fans look forward to his films. When he hits the silver screen, his films become hits in his name. He is so crazy among his fans that even his flop film easily earns Rs 100 crores. However, on the other hand, his two brothers Arbaaz and Sohail did not get as much fame and their film careers did not go as well as Salman’s.
Today is Arbaaz’s birthday on August 4. Let us take this opportunity to tell you about a film in which, if he had worked, his career would have been on a different level today. Arbaaz started his Bollywood career in 1996 with the film ‘Daar’. But, the film flopped. However, before this he was going to debut with another film.
She was going to debut with this film
In the year 1992, a film called ‘Footpath’ was to be released. However, the film was shelved. To act in ‘Footpath’, Arbaaz turned down Akshay Kumar’s career-boosting film offer. The film we are talking about is ‘Khiladi’, which was released in 1992. The film was a hit at the box office, but the first choice for the film was not Akshay but Arbaaz Khan. When Arbaaz got the offer for this film, he was busy shooting for ‘Footpath’. For this reason, he rejected the offer of this film.
