Arbaaz Khan: Dabangg 3 will take a lot of my time, effort and concentration

Arbaaz Khan is set to invest his time, money, effort and concentration for Dabangg 3. The actor-filmmaker was in attendance yesterday at the screening of a short film which is titled #METOO. In an interaction with IANS, Arbaaz was asked about whether his production banner will make content for the digital platform, to which Arbaaz said, "As of now, my concentration is on my production and on my next film because when I involve myself in a certain project, that time I need to have some time for and I personally get involved in it.

"So, after making my upcoming film, I do have plans to create content on digital platform -- be it with a web series or short films... The options are pretty much open. As a producer, it is a wide spectrum of things that I want to do and for now, I am concentrating on Dabangg 3 which will go on floors mid this year. After that I will have more time because Dabangg 3 will take lot of my time, effort and concentration."


Talking about the short film #METOO, Arbaaz said, "It's an interesting short film. It is relevant with current #METOO campaign on social media. It is basically about women who come out in the open, talk about the experiences that they have had, not feel ashamed about what has happened and to expose the people who have done stuff like that.

"I think people who are along with the victims should support them like their partner or parents. It's an interesting film made on that topic."

Talking about whether such efforts have the power to change people’s thought process, Arbaaz said, "I think people should find the courage because there is no point keeping mum about things. So, I guess you have to take a stand and fight against it if you have been exploited in any manner."

Speaking about International Women’s Day which falls on 8th March, Arbaaz wished women by saying, "Women are wonderful and I wish them all the very best for their future endeavours."

  • 2025 marks the start of long-form mythological world-building on OTT.

There’s a quiet shift happening on streaming platforms this year. Indian mythological stories, once treated as children’s animation or festival reruns, have started landing on global services with serious ambition. These titles are travelling further than they ever have, including into the UK’s busy OTT space.

It’s about scale, quality, and the strange comfort of old stories in a digital world that changes too fast. And in a UK market dealing with subscription fatigue, anything fresh, strong, and rooted in clear storytelling gets noticed.
