The Ba***ds of Bollywood first glimpse: Aryan Khan goes all Shah Rukh Khan from Mohabbatein as he says ‘picture toh saalon se baki hai, show ab shuru hoga'
Aryan, dressed in all black, is spitting image of his father as he introduces the anticlimactic tone of his show — a series about Bollywood, which will be a mix of 'bahut saara pyaar (lots of love)' and 'thoda sa vaar (a little bit of a roast)'. As he concludes his pitch, Aryan promises, yet again in trademark Shah Rukh Khan style: 'Picture toh saalon se baki hai, par show ab shuru hoga.'
The Ba***ds of Bollywood will be headlined by Lakshya and Sahher Bambba, and will boast of an ensemble cast including Mona Singh, Manoj Pahwa, Manish Chaudhari, Raghav Juyal, Anya Singh, and Gautami Kapoor. The preview of the show will be on August 20.
The official synopsis of the series reads, 'An ambitious outsider and his friends navigate the larger-than-life yet uncertain world of Bollywood. The series blends self-aware humour with a high-stakes narrative — and promises a host of unforgettable cameos, blockbuster thrills and an adventurous ride into the world of Indian cinema.'
Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, the series is rumoured to feature cameos by Bobby Deol, Ranbir Kapoor, and several other big names. However, the release date remains tightly under wraps for now. It is co-created by Bilal Siddiqi and Manav Chauhan, who also share writing credits with Aryan Khan.
Aap ne maanga aur Netflix ne poora kar diya….yeh thoda zyaada ho gaya nahi? Par aadat daal lo…..kyunki….

In an Ask SRK session on X on Saturday, Shah Rukh Khan confirmed that many 'friends from the industry' have given cameos in the film, and that he'd also pop up for a special appearance in the show. 'Lots of lovely friends from the industry have participated in Aryan's series. They've been very gracious and loving toward him. Main toh hun hi… Haq se (I'm obviously there too… rightfully so),' Shah Rukh tweeted.
Everyone from Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos, filmmaker Karan Johar to actor Anil Kapoor has vouched for Aryan Khan's talent after watching The Ba***ds of Bollywood. While Ted called the show 'really fun,' Karan proclaimed 'prince' Aryan would surprise everyone. Anil even called him a 'young Manmohan Desai.' Even the cast of The Ba***ds of Bollywood have lauded Aryan's directorial voice and commitment, from Manoj Pahwa to Manish Chaudhari.
Prior to The Ba***ds of Bollywood, Aryan lent his voice to Simba, while his father Shah Rukh Khan voiced Mufasa, in the Hindi dubbed version of Disney's new live-action The Lion King franchise. Shah Rukh revealed that Aryan doesn't want to be an actor like him not only because filmmaking is his calling, but also because he would always face the threat of comparisons with his father.

Aryan's sister Suhana Khan also made her debut a couple of years ago, playing Veronica in Zoya Akhtar's 2023 coming-of-age period musical The Archies, which also dropped on Netflix. She'll be next seen making her theatrical debut in Siddharth Anand's crime drama King, in which she'll share screen space with her father Shah Rukh. The filming of King is currently on hold, as Shah Rukh recovers from a shoulder injury he sustained while shooting an action sequence for the film.

Coolie worldwide box office collection day 4: Rajinikanth-starrer is #1 film in the world; beats Weapons, Nobody 2
Coolie worldwide box office collection: Rajinikanth's Coolie is going from strength to strength at the box office. The action thriller directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj opened to record-breaking numbers and has kept the momentum going through its extended opening weekend, despite some lukewarm reviews. Now, Coolie has done the unthinkable by becoming the number one movie at the worldwide box office in its opening weekend. Coolie worldwide box office collection: Rajinikanth's film has topped the global box office this weekend. (Photo by Raju Shinde/HT Photo)(Raju Shinde) Coolie worldwide box office report Coolie earned ₹194.25 crore net ( ₹233 crore gross) in its four-day extended opening weekend in India. It is the fastest Tamil film to ₹100 crore, and will likely become the fastest to ₹200 crore on Monday. But Coolie's overseas earnings are just as impressive. The film set new benchmarks for Tamil films with record-breaking openings in North America, the UK, and Australia. By Sunday, the film has earned over $18 million ( ₹160 crore) in the international market. Its total worldwide haul stands at ₹393 crore ($45 million) after four days. How Coolie became the #1 film in the world Coolie's $45 million haul is impressive for any Indian film in its first four days. But the end of the Hollywood summer and the absence of a big tentpole film in the US this weekend have meant that it is enough to top the charts globally as well. Coolie managed to beat the horror film, Weapons, which earned an estimated $44 million over the last four days (Thursday-Sunday). The Zach Cregger film earned $29 million in the US, according to Box Office Mojo, in addition to $15 million overseas. In the third spot during this extended weekend is Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's War 2, which has earned an estimated $30 million in its first four days. The YRF Spy Universe is level with Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan's Freakier Friday, which brought home the same amount. The only new Hollywood release this weekend - Nobody 2 starring Bob Odenkirk - opened at just $14 million worldwide, far behind Coolie. All about Coolie Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie stars Rajinikanth as the titular retired coolie, who ends up embroiled in a gangster's world (Simon, played by Nagarjuna) after the death of his friend. The film also stars Soubin Shahir, Shruti Haasan, and Sathyaraj, with a cameo from Aamir Khan.
