I am four episodes in." Even Karan Johar has spoken highly of Aryan Khan's talent, lauding his work in the most anticipated series. In a chat with Raj Shamani, the filmmaker said, 'I don't know if I'm even supposed to say this, but I have a 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." While fans await the show's release date, it has been reported that Aryan Khan might skip the promotional events for the series.
