As an actor, Rohit was seen in Season 2 of Avrodh. After transitioning away from television, he has largely chosen to act only within his own films, often portraying the central protagonist-reflecting a deliberate preference for self-authored narratives and complete creative control.

- Rohit Arora is the creator of the world's first Flat Earth-themed feature film, McGuffin (2025), inspired by Eric Dubay's controversial book The Flat Earth Conspiracy. Upon release, McGuffin faced widespread bans across international film festivals, cinema chains, and OTT platforms. Paradoxically, the film went on to dominate piracy and dark-web circulation following its theatrical run-cementing its status as one of the most talked-about underground releases of recent times. Widely debated and fiercely polarizing, McGuffin is increasingly regarded as a rare intellectual masterpiece in Indian cinema-provocative, uncompromising, and resistant to conventional classification.
