The entertainment industry is buzzing with the latest updates on two highly anticipated projects: Aryan Khan's directorial debut, "The Ba***ds of Bollywood," and the third installment of the "Pushpa" franchise, "Pushpa 3: The Rampage."

SRK's Cameo Steals the Show in "The Bads of Bollywood" Trailer*

The trailer for Aryan Khan's "The Ba***ds of Bollywood" has finally dropped, and it's generating significant buzz, especially for Shah Rukh Khan's (SRK) cameo. The series, produced by Gauri Khan under Red Chillies Entertainments, is set to premiere on Netflix on September 18. The seven-episode series promises a mix of sharp humor and larger-than-life moments, offering a satirical take on the Hindi film industry.

The trailer introduces Aasmaan Singh (Lakshya), an ambitious newcomer navigating the chaotic world of Bollywood. He is supported by his best friend Parvaiz (Raghav Juyal), his sharp-tongued manager Sanya (Anya Singh), and his family. Aasmaan quickly learns that pursuing dreams in Bollywood comes at a steep price, especially when ambition clashes with ego. He faces his biggest challenge in superstar Ajay Talvar (Bobby Deol) when he's cast opposite Ajay's daughter, Karishma (Sahher Bambba). The series also features Manish Chaudhari as the shrewd producer Freddy Sodawallah and Rajat Bedi as Jaraj Saxena, a past actor seeking a comeback.

SRK's cameo is a major highlight, with a humorous twist on his "Badshah" moniker. In one scene, Manoj Pahwa's character mistakes SRK for the rapper Badshah, leading to a funny exchange. Aamir Khan also makes a cameo, discussing a scene with SS Rajamouli and later teasing Aasmaan about his food preferences. Other notable cameos include Arjun Kapoor and Disha Patani.

The trailer also hints at the darker side of Bollywood, including power struggles, politics, and scandals. Aasmaan finds himself entangled in underworld connections, leading to his arrest. Despite the serious undertones, the series maintains a humorous touch. Fans are particularly excited about the possibility of seeing all three Khans (Shah Rukh, Salman, and Aamir) together on screen.

Allu Arjun Gears Up for "Pushpa 3: The Rampage"

Fans of Allu Arjun can rejoice as "Pushpa 3: The Rampage" has been officially confirmed. However, the wait will be a little longer, with the film tentatively scheduled for release in 2028. The delay is due to Allu Arjun's prior commitments to projects with directors Atlee and Trivikram Srinivas, as well as director Sukumar's film with Ram Charan.

Producer Ravi Shankar Yerneni assured fans that the gap between "Pushpa 2: The Rule" and "Pushpa 3" wouldn't be as long as the previous one. The makers are aiming for a 2028 release after Allu Arjun and Sukumar complete their current projects. While specific plot details are scarce, "Pushpa 3: The Rampage" promises to be bigger and grander than its predecessors. The film is expected to introduce new characters, with reports suggesting that a major Bollywood star may play the antagonist.

The "Pushpa" franchise has been a massive success, with "Pushpa: The Rise" (2021) becoming the highest-grossing Indian film of that year. "Pushpa 2: The Rule" (2023) further cemented the franchise's popularity, earning a global box office collection of ₹1,750 crore. Allu Arjun and Rashmika Mandanna will reprise their roles, with Sukumar returning as director.
