Bads of Bollywood: Did Aryan Khan take a veiled dig at his jail time? Netflix show creates buzz ahead of release date
But it was the ending of the trailer that truly caught the public eye. In the final scene, Lakshya is shown walking out of prison when a policeman remarks, 'Tension nai lene ka, andar jaake log aur bhi famous ho jaate hai' (Do not stress, people become more famous after going to jail).
The line quickly became a talking point online, with many suggesting Aryan Khan had referenced his own past. A fan wrote on X, 'Andar Jake log or bhi famous ho jate hai best line h aryan bhai you are killing the haters.' Another added, 'We know what Aryan did in the last scene of the trailer .'
Aryan Khan, the son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, was arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) on 2 October 2021 during a raid on a luxury cruise ship off Mumbai's coast. He faced allegations of drug possession, consumption, and conspiracy to traffic narcotics — charges that shook the film industry and dominated headlines.
He spent 28 days in Mumbai's Arthur Road Jail before the Bombay High Court granted him bail on 28 October 2021. Lawyers representing Aryan argued that no drugs were found on him and that there was no solid evidence linking him to the alleged offences.

Bombay High Court to review film on Yogi Adityanath after CBFC denies certification
The Bombay High Court said on Thursday (August 21, 2025) that it will watch the film, Ajey: The Untold Story, reportedly based on the life of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, before it makes a decision on issuing a censor certificate. The court stepped in after the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) denied the movie a censor certificate, citing multiple objections. The filmmakers petitioned the court, challenging the CBFC's refusal to certify the film. The film, said to draw inspiration from the book The Monk Who Became Chief Minister, has been caught in a censorship tussle after the CBFC refused clearance, insisting that the makers first obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the UP CM's office — a demand the filmmakers call 'unconstitutional and beyond its jurisdiction.' The court too observed that the CBFC should not insist on an NOC. A Division Bench of Justices Revati Mohite Dere and Neela Gokhale noted that the court would examine the disputed portions before ruling on the petition filed by the filmmakers. The producers have been directed to submit a copy of the movie, clearly marking the scenes flagged by the censor board. The matter will be heard next on August 25. Freedom of expression Senior advocate Ravi Kadam, for the filmmakers, argued that the CBFC's decision infringed upon the filmmakers' right to freedom of expression. He further contended that the board had overstepped its authority by seeking an NOC from a private individual. He also said that the high court can decide their petition even though there is an alternative remedy available under the Cinematograph Act, arguing that the issue raises larger constitutional questions on artistic freedom and censorship in India. The court was also informed that a copy of the book on which the film is based has already been submitted for reference. Senior advocate Abhay Khandeparkar, representing the CBFC, defended the board's stance, asserting that it had adhered to the principles of natural justice while handling the case. He stressed that the Revising Committee had also rejected the filmmakers' request, adding that the proper course now available to them was to file an appeal before the High Court. However, the Bench expressed displeasure at the CBFC's approach and remarked, 'When exactly did you follow the principles of natural justice? This is an exercise you ought to have done for every film, yet you have failed to do it.'

When Aryan Khan's The Ba***ds of Bollywood actor Lakshya spoke about him after Kill screening: ‘Perfect example of…'
Like Shanaya Kapoor, Lakshya is one newcomer whose Bollywood debut kept getting pushed. He was initially going to begin his journey with Janhvi Kapoor and Kartik Aaryan's Dostana 2, but the project was shelved. Karan Johar then announced Lakshya as one of the leads, alongside Shanaya, in Bedhadak. But that film was also shelved. In 2024, Lakshya finally made his Bollywood debut with Kill, leaving a lasting impression on audiences. Up next, he will be seen as the hero of Aryan Khan's directorial debut show, The Ba***ds of Bollywood. But what does Lakshya think of Shah Rukh Khan's son? Aryan Khan with Lakshya and Mona Singh A year ago, during an interview with Fever FM, Lakshya opened up about his friend and now director Aryan Khan. When asked if he has ever felt a difference between nepo and non-nepo artists, Lakshya shared, 'Difference I think bahar waale log zyaada banate hain. Andar kuchh hai nahi. Because aadhe toh mere dost hi hain saare. Janhvi (Kapoor), Shanaya (Kapoor), Ananya (Panday), Agastya (Nanda). Aur itne sahi log hain naa yeh. Itne correct hain, koi complications nahi hai, koi insecurities nahi hain. Apna kaam karte hain aur tameesdaar log hain. Aryan (Khan) humaare dost hain. Aryan was there in the screening and I made him meet my parents. And my father said 'He doesn't look like he's Shah Rukh Khan's son'. Like woh pair wair (proceeded to make the gesture of touching feet), matlab he's just a perfect example of how a boy should be.' Raghav Juyal, who was the villain of Kill and will be seen as Lakshya's best friend in Aryan's show, chimed in and added, 'Bohot tehzeeb, usse naa bohot culture diya hua hai Aryan ko.' Well, clearly Aryan not only won his star cast over with a well-written show, but also his charming personality. Also starring Bobby Deol and Sahher Bambba in the lead with epic cameos by Salman Khan, Ranveer Singh and Karan Johar, Aryan's show The Ba***ds of Bollywood is set to arrive on Netflix on September 18.

The actor played the role of Lt. Abhimanyu Rai. Khan once shared that his role in the serial was to count the crows. He was not the first choice for the role, and the director's son was in a race with him. Speaking to the Deccan Chronicle, SRK said, "I landed up on the sets of 'Fauji' because the house-owner that we were speaking to after we needed a smaller house post the demise of my father got to know that I'd been in Mumbai to act, and he revealed that his own father-in-law was producing a TV serial. " Aryan Khan's debut show, 'The Ba***ds of Bollywood' SRK's son will be making his smashing entry with a show, not as an actor but as a director. Just like how his father went on to become one of the greatest of Indian cinema as an actor, it is possible that even Aryan can turn into a great director. Only time will tell the tale. His first project as a director will showcase his skills and the potential he has.
