Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan is all set to make his grand Bollywood debut as a director with his upcoming series Ba***ds of Bollywood.

When asked about a project he's looking forward to, Ted 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.'
In a recent chat with Raj Shamani, Karan Johar also praised Aryan and 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. 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.'
Shah Rukh unveiled the title of the show at a Netflix event in February and said, 'There is a story behind this name and Aryan and his team will present it later before you.' The official plotline of the show reads: 'An unabashed, entertaining ride through the adventures of a charming, ambitious outsider navigating the glitzy yet tricky world of Bollywood.'
The show is expected to feature some big names in cameo appearances, with the likes of Salman Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Karan Johar, and Ranveer Singh doing the rounds. Bobby Deol and Mona Singh are also reportedly starring in the series. A source close to the development revealed to HT that Sahher Bambba, who debuted in Bollywood opposite Karan Deol in the 2019 film Pal Pal Dil Ke Paas, and Lakshya will be headlining the project.

When Shah Rukh Khan revealed the real reason why he can't work with Akshay Kumar
Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan is one of the most celebrated stars in the world. He has a huge loyal fan base who eagerly await his movies. Not just him, but even Akshay Kumar has a huge fan base. People want to see both superstars work together on a project someday. However, it seems that it isn't possible. Let's rewind to the moment when SRK hilariously explained why a film with Akshay may never happen because Khan is a night owl and the latter is an early riser. In an interview with DNA, Shah Rukh Khan was asked if he could feature in three to four films in a year like Akshay Kumar and can work with him, he shared, 'What do I say to this? I don't wake up as early as him.' The King actor further added, 'I go to sleep when Akshay is waking up. His day starts early. By the time I start working, he is packing up and going home. So he can put in more hours of work. I'm a nocturnal person. Not many people are fond of shooting at night like me.' SRK further shared that it will be 'fun' to work with Akshay Kumar, however, they won't be able to meet on the set. He added that when the Kesari Chapter 2 actor will leave the sets, he will enter. Shah Rukh also said that though he would like to work with him, it would be difficult as they work in different timings. On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan will next be seen in the much-awaited film King. Directed by Siddharth Anand, he will share screen space with his daughter Suhana Khan for the first time. The film also has a star-studded cast including Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Jackie Shroff, Anil Kapoor, Arshad Warsi, Abhay Verma, Saurabh Shukla, and more in important roles. King is all set to release in the theaters in the last quarter of 2026, specifically between October 1 to December 31. Fans can expect to see Shah Rukh Khan in a never-seen-before avatar in the role of a deadly assassin. He will be seen in an intense face-off with Abhishek Bachchan.

As the news rippled through social and celebrity circles, emotional tributes have begun to pour in—from heartfelt notes to fond memories—honoring a man remembered for his charisma, sportsmanship, and larger-than-life presence. Shikhar Pahariya has shared a picture of Sunjay in his polo gears. The note read, 'Rest in peace, Champ. Om Shanti." Check out the post here: Art patron Shalini Passi also expressed deep sorrow over Sunjay Kapur's sudden demise. In a conversation with Hindustan Times, she shared that the two were good friends and his passing has left her heartbroken. "The news of Sunjay's death is sad and shocking. It makes us realise the frivolity of our life and everything that we take so seriously… In a moment everything is gone. He was somebody a lot of people looked up to as a role model." Shalini Passi, who gained attention through Netflix's Fabulous Lives Vs Bollywood Wives, recalled her last conversation with Sunjay Kapur and his wife Priya Sachdev. Remembering them fondly, she shared that they had spoken just a few days before his untimely passing, making the news all the more shocking.

5 Heartwarming Films & Shows That Celebrate Fatherhood This Father's Day
Last Updated: Celebrate Father's Day 2025 with 5 heartwarming films and shows that capture the silent strength and unconditional love of dads. Perfect for a family binge-watch. Father's Day isn't just about grand gestures—it's about recognizing the quiet strength, the daily sacrifices, and the often-unnoticed ways our fathers show up for us. Much like the age-old tale of Shravan Kumar's devotion to his parents, Indian storytelling continues to reflect this deep-rooted, cultural respect for paternal figures. And while the world has changed, the essence of fatherhood—love without loudness, care without conditions—remains timeless. If you're looking for the perfect way to spend this Father's Day, here are five heartwarming films and shows that capture the many shades of fatherhood—from the playful to the profound, the traditional to the modern. 1. Paa Paa on Netflix is an emotional rollercoaster that flips expectations. Amitabh Bachchan, in a never-seen-before avatar, plays Auro—a young boy battling a rare genetic condition that causes accelerated ageing. His father, played by Abhishek Bachchan, is an estranged figure who slowly reconnects with his son, making up for lost time in subtle yet touching ways. Their bond unfolds like a poem, filled with humour, heartbreak, and healing. Watch it to celebrate love that arrives late but lands deep. 2. Piku Piku, streaming on SonyLIV, is a quietly brilliant film that redefines father-daughter dynamics. It's not flashy—it's real. Deepika Padukone plays the dutiful yet exasperated daughter of Amitabh Bachchan's hypochondriac father. What makes this story special is its honesty—how caregiving isn't always romanticized but still rooted in love. Their road trip becomes a metaphor for navigating life's bumps together. It's witty, wise, and wonderfully emotional. 3. All The Best Pandya All The Best Pandya on ShemarooMe is a hidden gem in Gujarati cinema. It captures the everyday dynamics of a typical Indian household, focusing on the relationship between a stern, old-school father and his carefree son. Their banter feels lifted from real life—relatable, funny, and occasionally frustrating. But what makes this film shine is how it unravels into a courtroom comedy with a big heart, reminding us that even the sternest fathers love more than they show. It's the kind of film that sneaks up on you with laughter and leaves you with moist eyes. 4. Wake Up Sid Wake Up Sid, available on Netflix, may not scream 'Father's Day watch" at first glance, but look closer and you'll see a moving portrait of paternal love in the background. While Ranbir Kapoor's Sid finds his purpose, his father—played with quiet restraint—never stops believing in him, even when he doesn't say much. It's the kind of father many of us grew up with: not always expressive, but always there when it matters. This one's a must-watch for those who realize later in life how much their dad did in silence. 5. Yeh Meri Family Yeh Meri Family on Amazon MiniTV is pure nostalgia wrapped in 90s warmth. Through the eyes of a 12-year-old boy, it paints a heartfelt picture of middle-class Indian family life. The father in this series is both disciplinarian and softie, a mix we all know too well. Whether it's scolding his son for a bad grade or secretly leaving a chocolate on his pillow after a long day, this dad reminds us that love is in the little things. It's funny, honest, and will probably remind you of your own childhood home. This Father's Day, skip the clichés and dive into stories that feel real. These films and series aren't just entertainment—they're a reminder of the many ways fathers shape our lives. So, sit down with your dad, press play, and celebrate the superhero who doesn't always wear a cape—but always has your back. First Published:
