A Bollywood personality who has worn many hats in the film industry—actor, director, and producer—has had a career filled with highs and lows. While he has faced multiple setbacks as a lead actor, his ventures behind the camera have been far more successful. Today, he celebrates his 54th birthday, reflecting on a journey that spans over two decades in Hindi cinema.
Who is this actor?
The actor in focus is Sohail Khan, brother of the country’s biggest superstar, Salman Khan, and Arbaaz Khan. He first entered the film industry as a director, making his mark with the hit film Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya in 1998. Riding on this success, he made his screenwriting, directing, and acting debut in 2002 with Maine Dil Tujhko Diya. Unfortunately, the film failed at the box office and remains his only lead role as an actor. Since then, Sohail primarily took on supporting roles in films, even though he appeared in around 15–16 movies throughout his career.
The filmography of Sohail Khan
Most of his acting projects as the main star did not perform well commercially. Some of these include Tubelight, Main Aur Mrs. Khanna, Heroes, God Tussi Great Ho, Jaane Tu… Ya Jaane Na, Salaam-e-Ishq, Krishna Cottage, Lakir, Darna Mana Hai, and Do Not Disturb. Despite these setbacks, Sohail continued to remain active in the industry, focusing on other avenues where he could make a significant impact.
The massive wealth of Sohail Khan
While acting may not have brought him consistent box office success, Sohail Khan has excelled as a producer. He has backed several superhit films such as Munna Bhai MBBS, Don 2, Happy New Year, Jai Ho, Freaky Ali, and Hello Brother. His ventures have contributed substantially to his wealth. As of 2025, Sohail’s estimated net worth stands at Rs 300 crore to Rs 333 crore. His assets include high-value real estate, luxury cars like a Bentley Continental GT (Rs 4 crore), Audi A8 (Rs 2 crore), and Land Rover Discovery, along with a Rs 35 crore bungalow in Mumbai.
Beyond films, Sohail is also an entrepreneur in the fitness industry, owning the Being Fit Gym Equipment brand, which supplies machinery to major fitness centers across India. His multi-faceted career and smart business ventures have helped him maintain a luxurious lifestyle despite mixed results as an actor.
