Aryan Khan Steps Into the Spotlight With Bold Directorial Debut
Bollywood’s latest sensation isn’t a starlet or a blockbuster hero—it’s Aryan Khan, son of superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who’s making headlines for his audacious directorial debut,
The Bastards of Bollywood. The Netflix series, which premiered this week, is already stirring up conversation for its gutsy storytelling, meta humor, and unapologetic satire of the film industry’s inner workings.
A Satirical Take That’s Turning Heads
Aryan Khan’s series dives deep into the glitzy yet gritty world of Bollywood, pulling no punches as it lampoons the industry’s obsession with legacy, nepotism, and scandal. The show’s title itself—censored as “Ba
ds of Bollywood” in many outlets—sets the tone for a narrative that’s as irreverent as it is insightful.
Critics are calling it a “masala, meta, mad ride” that Bollywood desperately needed. The plot centers on Aasmaan Singh (played by Lakshya), the illegitimate son of Bobby Deol’s character Ajay Talvar, unraveling a twisted family drama that’s as much about personal identity as it is about public perception. The series doesn’t shy away from cussing, corny humor, and self-referential jabs, making it a messy yet gloriously entertaining watch.
Star-Studded Premiere and Industry Buzz
The premiere was a star-studded affair, with Bobby Deol’s playful attempt to make Aryan Khan smile going viral on social media. Bollywood heavyweights like Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan have publicly praised the show, with Johar calling it a “Baap show” and Netflix’s Ted Sarandos labeling it “a good watch”.
The cast features a mix of industry veterans and fresh faces, including Bobby Deol, Lakshya, and Sahher Lamba, each bringing their own flair to the series’ chaotic energy.
