Arbaaz Khan will make his Malayalam film debut in Siddique's Big Brother, which stars South icon Mohanlal. Siddique, who remade his Malayalam film Bodyguard (2010) in Hindi with Salman Khan, felt Arbaaz fitted the role in the drama.

Arbaaz is expected to join Mohanlal after wrapping up the shooting of his production, Dabangg 3. Meanwhile, Arbaaz is getting himself familiarised with Malayalam. Arbaaz also made his digital debut recently with a chat show Pinch, and the Zee5 web series, Poison. Talking about his digital avatars to mid-day he said, "People found a different Arbaaz Khan on Pinch. It added dimensions to my personality, which was necessary. So far, I have mostly done no-nonsense roles, and that is how people perceived me. But, with this show, viewers saw an affable and humorous side to me."
