Khan was educated at [[Bishop Cotton Boys' School]], [[Bangalore]] and [[St. Germain High School]], [[Bangalore]].

== Career ==
Akbar started his career as an assistant director to some filmmakers and after some years of assisting made his debut in ''Anjaan Rahain'' (1974), which starred his brother Feroz in the main lead. He was also assistant director to his brother Feroz in ''Apradh'' (1972). After acting in a couple of films, Akbar turned producer-director with ''Haadsa'' (1983), starring himself in the lead. He also starred in his brother Sanjay Khan's directorial venture ''Kala Dhanda Gorey Log'' (1986). After acting in ''Aakarshan'' (1988), Akbar turned his attention to the TV industry and directed the first 20 episodes of his brother Sanjay Khan's epic TV Serial, ''[[The Sword of Tipu Sultan]]''.

Akbar produced-directed and also played the title role of Emperor Akbar in the classic TV serial ''Akbar The Great''. In 2005, Akbar produced-directed the magnum opus ''[[Taj Mahal: An Eternal Love Story]]''. He also launched Pakistani legend actress-singer Noor Jehan's granddaughter Sonya Jehan in the film, which also starred [[Kabir Bedi]], [[Zulfi Syed]], [[Arbaaz Khan]] and [[Pooja Batra]]. It was the costliest film made in India at that time, with a budget of INR 60 crores. It was also the first Indian film to release in Pakistani cinemas, as Indian films were banned there since the [[Indo-Pakistani War of 1965|Indo-Pak war of 1965]]. Akbar, along with his family and other Indian film stars also visited Pakistan in April 2006 and actively promoted the film. The film was badly sabotaged and ill-marketed in India by Mukta Arts, which led to a dispute between Akbar, [[Subhash Ghai]] and [[Yash Chopra]]. The film was highly appreciated at nearly all international film festivals. Akbar plans to re-release the film in India and abroad very soon, as many people didn't know that it actually released in 2005. Akbar starred in Vashu Bhagnani's ''[[F.A.L.T.U|Faltu]]'' (2011) and played the main lead in ''Faraar'' (2011).

He is into the petrochemical business with his company Abraiz Petrochemicals. Akbar also has some business interests in Iran. He lives at Oberoi Enclave in [[Juhu]], Mumbai near his late brother Feroz's bungalow.
