‘Qayamat: City Under Threat’ (2003)

Made on a budget of Rs 15 crore, this Harry Baweja’s movie was India’s first fully digitally graded film. Even though the film has many other villains, it was Arbaaz who stood out tall and strong among the rest. His portrayal will be remembered for ages to come.

‘Fashion’ (2008)

Arbaaz Khan played a grey-shaded character of a fashion tycoon named Abhijeet Sarin. He was an opportunist who used newcomers in the glamour industry to fulfill his own desires.
