His next film Eklavya: The Royal Guard saw him and his mother together for the second time since Aashiq Awara. Though it was a box-office disappointment his performance as Harshwardhan was praised and appreciated by the critics. One critic commented watching him emote with amazing precision makes you realize the giant strides he has taken as an actor .

His 2007 release Ta Ra Rum Pum did moderately at the box office and his performance was praised.

In 2008 so far, his Race was a super hit at the Indian and overseas boxoffice, establishing him further as one of the ruling khans of bollywood. It broke box office records for first week collections (eventually smashed by Singh Is Kinng ). But he couldn t deliver similar hits in Tashan (opposite his current girlfriend, Bollywood screen siren Kareena Kapoor) and Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic (opposite his Hum Tum co star Rani Mukerji).
