New Delhi:
Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan is all set to make his directorial debut with the Netflix original Ba***ds of Bollywood. As fans await the release, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos has shared his review of the show.
Ted made an appearance at the WAVES Summit 2025, where actor Saif Ali Khan asked him if there's a series he's especially looking forward to. Ted was quick to mention Aryan Khan's Ba***ds of Bollywood.
He said, "We have a show called Ba***ds of Bollywood coming up. That is really fun. I'm gonna leave the audience to try to figure out the title completely. But it is so fun, I have got four episodes in, you'll be getting it soon too.'
Earlier, filmmaker Karan Johar also shared his thoughts on Aryan Khan's directorial debut.
In an interview with Raj Shamani, Karan said, "I don't know if I'm even supposed to say this, but I have huge belief in Aryan Khan's directorial talent. I don't want to say anything about his Netflix show, because he'll get very angry, but all I'll say is this: watch out. If there is a King, there will be a Prince. I can say this with confidence because I've seen the show. He has an individualistic voice as a director."
The filmmaker added, "He's not anything like you'd expect Shah Rukh Khan's son to be. He's his own person. He works quietly, he doesn't carry the baggage of his father, he doesn't carry the weight of his legacy. He works hard; he works 20 hours a day. He is a rare personality type.'
Ba***ds of Bollywood features Lakshya of Kill fame and Sahher Bambba in lead roles. While the lead pair is all about fresh faces, the series is said to have cameos of some of the biggest stars such as Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, and Ranveer Singh.
Bobby Deol and Mona Singh will feature in key roles, while Karan Johar will also have an extended cameo appearance. Produced by Gauri Khan, Ba***ds of Bollywood is co-created by Bilal Siddiqi and Manav Chauhan, who also share writing credits with Aryan.

After Mani Ratnam & Kajol, Netflix's 'Rana Naidu' actor Rana Daggubati supports Deepika Padukone's 8-hour shift: 'You can't be forced to...'
Daggubati added, 'Nobody is forcing anybody. It's a job. You can't be forced to do a job. Everyone has their own opinion on what's important to them in their life.' read more After Kajol, Ajay Devgn, and Mani Ratnam, Netflix's 'Rana Naidu' actor Rana Daggubati has stood by Deepika Padukone's 8-hour working shift amid the Spirit row. The actor said, 'It depends on the project, the person, and the region. For example, in Maharashtra, it's a 12-hour shift, while in Telugu cinema typically has an 8-hour shift starting at 7 am. Everyone has a certain mentality, and the city also gives to certain things. You are seeing it as a generic statement - it is not. If you have to shoot on a set, it depends on how much prep you need. There are films taking place on a big spectacle where only two shoots take place in a day.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Daggubati added, 'Nobody is forcing anybody. It's a job. You can't be forced to do a job. Everyone has their own opinion on what's important to them in their life. There are actors who only work four hours a day - that's their system of working. They end up doing more than what a guy in 8 hours does. It's different for everybody, and it's not a general discussion.' After exiting from Sandeep Reddy Vanga-Prabhas' biggie Spirit, the latest reports suggest that the actress has taken the same step for Kalki 2898 AD 2. While the fiasco between Deepika and Vanga has been garnering headlines for quite some time, a new report has emerged discussing the actress's demands for Spirit. 'The actor had reportedly demanded ₹25 crores for approximately 35 days of shoot, along with a 10% profit share, extensive entourage expenses, and even expressed unwillingness to deliver dialogues in Telugu—something the director felt strongly about. To top it off, confidential plot details from Spirit were allegedly leaked, which raised serious concerns among the producers," the source told News18.
