Personal details
- Professions: Stunts, Second Unit Director or Assistant Director, Actor
Arbaaz kicked off his journey in the film world way back in 2011, hustling as an assistant director with Vikram Bhatt on “Dangerous Ishhq.” Not a bad place to cut your teeth, honestly. He kept grinding and moved on to “Raaz 3” after that. Then, out of nowhere, he pivots to academics and wraps up an MBA in Marketing from IBS in 2014—because why not add some business smarts to the creative chaos, right? After his stint at Amazon.in as a Team Lead (the corporate grind is real), he circled back to his roots in 2016. This time, he’s right there with his dad, the legendary action director Abbas Ali Moghul—basically learning from one of the best in the biz. Arbaaz didn’t just stick to assisting, though. He took on major gigs as an Associate Director and 2nd Unit Director for a bunch of films and web shows. The guy’s got range. Then, he finally grabbed the director’s chair for the web series “Zakhmi” (streaming on Jio Cinema, in case you’re hunting for something to binge). That show even snagged a nomination at the Indian Television Awards in 2019. Oh, and acting? He’s done that too. You’ll spot him in web series like “Maaya 2,” “Untouchables,” and “Spotlight.” Basically, Arbaaz is all over the place—directing, assisting, acting—just living the full-on Bollywood hustle.
You ever hear about Arbaaz? Yeah, the guy’s basically Bollywood royalty, no kidding. His granddad was Habib, an acting legend back in the day, like proper old-school charm and all that jazz. But wait, it gets cooler—his dad, Abbas Ali Moghul, is this wild action choreographer who’s probably set half the stunts you’ve watched in those big masala films. So, Arbaaz grew up literally around film sets, probably dodging fake punches and soaking up all that movie magic. I mean, with a family tree like that, how could he NOT end up in the industry? There’s just something about being born into all that chaos and glamour—one minute you’re doing your homework, next minute your dad’s flipping cars for a living. Honestly, it feels like movie blood runs in their veins. It’s not just a career for these folks, it’s the family business. Pretty wild, right?
