Aryan Khan channels SRK's signature swag in his first media address
Aryan Khan and father Shah Rukh Khan address the media in Mumbai On a rainy Wednesday evening, King Mufasa finally introduced his Simba to the world, and it was not just the uncanny physical resemblance that stunned the media. Aryan sounded, spoke, stood and carried himself just like his iconic father, albeit the nerves. He was visibly nervous as a speaker but confident about his craft as presented his first series as a director – Netflix's The Ba***ds of Bollywood, a satire on the dynamics of the film industry. Aryan's meta jokes Netizens spot full SRK deja vu in Aryan Khan's 'The Ba***ds of Bollywood' reveal What stood out the most at the series' preview launch were the self-referential meta jokes. From getting arrested and how that adds to hyping a celebrity to nepotism, Aryan, just like his father, spared no one including himself. The opening dialogue says, in Bollywood, kuch log hero ke ghar paida hotay hai aur kuch log, hero paida hotay hai. Some are born to a star, and some are born stars. Like Father, Like Son: Aryan Khan brings SRK swag to his first media address National award uthane ke liye mera ek haath hi kaafi hai: SRK Shah Rukh , known for his repartee, did crack jokes on the failure of his film 'Zero', and gave a health update on his shoulder injury. Seen with an arm sling and a dashing new haircut, he said, 'I underwent a surgery for my shoulder injury, and will take a month or two to recover lekin National award uthane ke liye mera ek haath hi kaafi hai', he said with a smile. The superstar added on an emotional note, 'We have taught only one thing to Aryan, 'Box office success or critics' positive reviews are not guaranteed but there's no alternative for hard work. I am very grateful to this holy land of Mumbai, Maharashtra and this whole country, which gave me this opportunity for 30 years to entertain you all. And today is a very special day because my son is also taking his first step in this industry and I would be grateful if you bestow upon him even a fraction of the love that you have given me. Give him your blessings.' Poll How do you feel about King Mufasa introducing Simba to the world? Excited Indifferent Shah Rukh, Gauri, Aryan Khan and Bobby Deol Aryan asked for multiple retakes: Bobby Deol Bobby Deol who features in the series sportingly revealed how Aryan was bit of a task master. He said, 'Shah Rukh bhai once said, 'Hamare bachche hai, and they want to join the industry'. Today, seeing Aryan take that step feels surreal. I have seen him as a little boy, and then years later, when I heard him speak, there was something magical about him, as if he was ready to conquer the world. And today, here we are, presenting his work. I clearly remember getting a call from Red Chillies. They said, 'Aryan is doing this show, would you like to be a part of it?' I instantly said yes without a second thought. But Aryan still wanted to narrate it to me himself. I went to the office, sat there for almost seven hours, and listened to the entire script. The conviction with which he narrated it left me amazed. That made me so happy because, as parents, we always wish for our children to be talented and successful. At the same time, we live in fear because we know the struggles we went through to reach where we are. Yes, he pushed us a lot, made us do many takes, and I kept thinking initially that he would go easy on us (laughs),' he concluded.
