Shah Rukh Khan has officially lifted the curtain—figuratively and literally—on The Ba**ds of Bollywood, dropping its fiery first-look poster on social media with a caption that reads: “Parda girne ka wait kar rahe ho? Yeh show parda phaad ke aa raha hai.” The much-anticipated Netflix original marks the directorial debut of Aryan Khan, and the preview is set to release today, signaling the arrival of a bold, genre-defying series that promises to shake up conventional narratives around the Hindi film industry.
Directed and co-written by Aryan Khan, the show plunges into the murky, chaotic underbelly of Bollywood. Filmed over the course of 2023 and 2024, The Ba**ds of Bollywood* features an eclectic ensemble cast including Bobby Deol, Lakshya, Raghav Juyal, Sahher Bambba, Mona Singh, Anya Singh, Gautami Kapoor, Manoj Pahwa, and Vijayant Kohli. It’s an ambitious project backed by Red Chillies Entertainment, the production powerhouse helmed by Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan—making this a rare intergenerational collaboration where legacy meets reinvention.
Aryan Khan's directorial debut is more than a family project—it reflects a generational shift in Bollywood’s creative control, especially as the industry pivots further into the streaming era. Netflix has seen a 50% spike in Indian viewership since 2020, and this high-profile series is poised to ride that wave of global attention for Indian original content. Aryan, serving not only as director but also as showrunner and co-writer, shares creative duties with Bilal Siddiqui (Bard of Blood) and Manav Chauhan.
While the project does draw inevitable attention due to its lineage, industry insiders point out Aryan Khan’s deeply involved role behind the camera. From storyboarding to scripting, Aryan has reportedly spent over two years developing the series, aiming to carve a space for himself distinct from his superstar father’s cinematic legacy.
The Ba**ds of Bollywood may be Aryan’s first step, but with the backing of one of India’s most influential film families and the storytelling ambition to match, it’s a loud, unapologetic entrance into an evolving entertainment landscape.
