Aryan Khan's The Ba***ds Of Bollywood First Review Out, Netflix CEO Calls It 'Very Funny'
Shah Rukh Khan's son, Aryan Khan, is all set to step into the entertainment industry, but behind the camera. He is helming a Netflix series titled The Ba***ds of Bollywood. The first review of Aryan's show is in, and it comes from none other than Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos. In his feedback for the first two episodes that he has watched, Sarandos praised Khan and called the series 'very funny".
The Ba***ds of Bollywood is a high-stakes, humorous, and immersive story that follows an ambitious outsider and his friends as they navigate the unpredictable, larger-than-life world of Bollywood. In an interview on Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath's WTF podcast, Ted Sarandos spoke about the Aryan Khan-helmed show. He said, 'It (The Ba***ds of Bollywood) is very fun. I've watched the first two episodes so far. It's very funny. I think people in India and people outside of India know nothing about the inner workings of Bollywood. So it's a really fun world. He's (Aryan Khan) a very good director."
Earlier this year, Shah Rukh Khan introduced his son's series in his unique style – through a witty, theatrical, and effortlessly charming video that highlighted his dynamic chemistry with Aryan Khan. He shared the teaser on his social media, captioning it, 'Picture toh saalon se baaki hai, par show toh ab shuru hoga. Witness Aryan Khan's take on Bollywood… The BA***DS OF BOLLYWOOD, coming soon."
The show's creators shared their enthusiasm for this daring new venture, highlighting how it explores the intense drama that lies beneath the surface of glamour. The show's team stated, 'Behind the glamour of Bollywood lies a world just as dramatic as the films themselves—and that is where our Netflix series begins. Through Aryan Khan's distinct lens, this show dives into the glitz, the chaos, the comedy, and the high stakes of an industry built on dreams. From the house of Red Chillies Entertainment, this collaboration with Netflix brings to life a story that is as bold and entertaining as the movies we have come to love. We can't wait for audiences to experience this with us."
Produced under Red Chillies Entertainment, The Ba***ds Of Bollywood is backed by Gauri Khan, with Bonnie Jain and Akshat Verma serving as executive producers. Aryan Khan leads the project as creator and director, working alongside co-creators Bilal Siddiqi and Manav Chauhan, who have also contributed to the writing. The series is slated for release in 2025.
