Shah Rukh Khan’s son, Aryan Khan, is stepping into the entertainment world as a director, with his debut series “The Ba***ds of Bollywood” nearing its Netflix release.
Aryan Khan’s Path Less Taken
Unlike many of his Bollywood peers who choose acting, Aryan Khan has opted for a different creative journey: filmmaking. Early in his career, he decided to become a director, and now, his first major project is set to hit Netflix.
“The Ba***ds of Bollywood” marks his official debut. This decision highlights a unique approach, moving away from the spotlight often associated with star kids to focus on behind-the-scenes creation.
Praise from a Seasoned Colleague
Actor Manish Chaudhari, who worked with Aryan on the upcoming series, recently shared high praise for the young director. In a chat with Radio Nasha Official, Chaudhari called Aryan “outstanding.”
He noted Aryan’s impressive clarity and youthful energy on set, even at a young age. Chaudhari highlighted Aryan’s strong foundation in filmmaking, attributing it to his education in the craft. “The foundation is very strong, the intent is very clear,” Chaudhari added.
Trailer Release “Just Around the Corner”
Fans are eagerly awaiting a glimpse of the series, and according to Manish Chaudhari, the trailer for “The Ba***ds of Bollywood” is “just around the corner.” The show’s title was first revealed in February, sparking much anticipation.
While there were earlier rumors of a June release, the exact date, along with the trailer, has yet to be officially announced. This update from Chaudhari builds further excitement for what’s to come.
Shah Rukh Khan’s Support and Praise
Adding to the project’s allure, Shah Rukh Khan is producing “The Ba***ds of Bollywood.” Actor Manish Chaudhari recounted a pleasant interaction with the superstar during the show’s making.
Manish shared how Shah Rukh Khan introduced him to director Zoya Akhtar, praising him as a “ghaint (great) actor.” This moment highlighted the supportive environment around Aryan’s directorial debut.
Industry Endorsements
The series has already received positive feedback from high-profile industry figures. Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos endorsed the show at the WAVES Summit 2025, calling it “really fun.”
Saif Ali Khan also chimed in, stating he saw parts of the show and found it “fantastic.” He even mentioned that his own children made a small appearance, adding another layer of intrigue to the upcoming Netflix release.
