He also wrote the story, produced and starred in the multi-starrer Fight Club - Members Only which also did not do well at the box office. In 2006 he starred in the boxing drama Aryan for which his performance was appreciated but the film failed to do well as it was a delayed release.

His only 2007 release as an actor was the multi-starrer Salaam-e-Ishq: A Tribute To Love. He then produced Partner which starred his brother Salman and Govinda in the lead roles and was a huge box office success.

He has also announced to star for the first time with both his brothers Salman and Arbaaz in Amar Akbar Anthony a remake of the 1977 Manmohan Desai film of the same name
