A Night of Triumph: The First Look
I could almost feel the electricity in the air. The lights were brighter, cameras clicking rapidly, and there stood Aryan Khan—nervous, proud, but glowing. The anticipation in Mumbai is palpable: the world is about to see The Ba**ds of Bollywood*, Aryan’s debut as a director, when it hits Netflix tomorrow, September 18, 2025.
Behind the Scenes: How This Moment Came Together
- Years of Hard Work:
Aryan Khan has spent over two years preparing for this project—writing, directing, and shaping a narrative that ventures into satire, action, comedy, and drama. The show is created under Red Chillies Entertainment, the banner owned by his parents, Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan. - A Stellar Cast & Intriguing Title:
The cast includes Lakshya Lalwani, Bobby Deol, Sahher Bambba, and Raghav Juyal among others. Fans are buzzing over the title The Ba**ds of Bollywood*, especially with its asterisks. What do they mean? The makers say it’s a stylistic choice to hint at satire and provocation. - Singing Debut and Musical Energy:
Aryan isn’t just stepping behind the camera—he’s stepping to the mic. He lent his voice (in parts) to the track “Tenu Ki Pata” alongside Diljit Dosanjh and Ujjwal Gupta. This dual role of creator-director-singer elevates expectations. - Emotional Support from the Industry:
Karan Johar posted a heartfelt note, calling it “a big night” and praising Aryan’s dedication and passion. Veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt also expressed confidence that Aryan will “sparkle if he has what Shah Rukh does.” The Khan family, including Shah Rukh, Gauri, Suhana, and AbRam, is visibly supporting the premiere.
