Aryan Khan's Directorial Debut: A Star-Studded Journey into Bollywood
Aryan Khan's Bold Entry into Bollywood
When the son of Bollywood's King Khan steps into the limelight, it certainly captures attention. The release of Aryan Khan's directorial venture, The Ba***ds of Bollywood, on Netflix prompted major news outlets to provide live updates on audience reactions.
This seven-episode series dives deep into the dynamics of Bollywood, tackling the 'nepo kid' narrative head-on. It's worth noting that while Aryan is part of a famous family, his father, Shah Rukh Khan, carved his own path as an outsider in Mumbai.
The plot centers around Aasmaan Singh, portrayed by Lakshya, an aspiring actor with dreams as grand as the film industry itself. The series features appearances from Bollywood's elite, including a cameo by Salman Khan, a playful spat between Ranveer Singh and Karan Johar over career-making moments, and musical contributions from artists like Diljit Dosanjh and Badshah. Not to mention, Shah Rukh Khan himself makes an appearance, along with hints that may reference Sameer Wankhede.
Fans were buzzing with excitement. Notable figures from the industry shared their support for Aryan's debut. Akshay Kumar tweeted, “Wishing you all the best @aryan beta, may this mark the beginning of something extraordinary. Congratulations to @iamsrk & @gaurikhan on this remarkable start!” Filmmaker Rahul Dholakia added, “Not stars but ***’s are born!! What a fun and entertaining first episode of #aryanKhan’s @NetflixIndia show!! Binge-worthy for sure!”
Suniel Shetty expressed his pride, stating, “Watching you take this leap into direction feels truly special. The Bads of Bollywood isn’t just a film — it’s your voice, your vibe, your vision. Proud doesn’t even begin to describe it. Let’s just say — Lights. Camera. Legacy.” Vijay Varma chimed in, “We have a fantastic new director in the house! Congratulations on a solid debut @___aryan___ Can’t wait to see the rest of the episodes.. and as Samay would say.. crazzzyyy show hai mere bhai.”
In Good Taste or Not?
Comedian and YouTuber Samay Raina made a statement at the premiere by wearing a 'Say No To Cruise' t-shirt, which some interpreted as a jab at the 2021 drug case. Reactions were mixed, with some finding it humorous while others deemed it inappropriate.
Rumors of Romance?
At the Mumbai premiere of The Ba***ds of Bollywood, Brazilian model and actress Larissa Bonesi turned heads, fueling speculation about her rumored relationship with Aryan Khan. The two were seen in matching black outfits, further igniting discussions about their alleged romance.
