In 2010, Khan ventured into film production with the company named Arbaaz Khan Productions. His first film as a producer was Dabangg, which was released in September 2010. The film starred his brother Salman in the leading role as the cop-hero Chulbul Pandey, alongside Arbaaz as his younger brother Makkhanchand "Makkhi" Pandey.[b] His former wife Malaika Arora Khan was featured in the popular item number "Munni Badnaam".[5] The film became a blockbuster within the first week of its release and broke several box office records, becoming the second highest grossing Bollywood film of all time at the time of its release.[6] On 12 March 2011, while Khan was a special guest of Australia's Indian film festival, Bollywood & Beyond, he helped his former wife Malaika Arora lead a successful world record attempt in Melbourne. 1235 participants successfully performed a choreographed dance to "Munni Badnaam" from the Dabangg soundtrack.[7]
