Aryan Khan's directorial debut, "The Ba***ds of Bollywood," is generating buzz ahead of its September 18, 2025, premiere on Netflix. The series, a satirical action comedy, features Lakshya as Aasmaan Singh, a young star navigating the complexities of Bollywood, with Raghav Juyal playing Parvaiz, Aasmaan's best friend.
In an exclusive interview, Lakshya and Raghav shared their experiences working with Aryan Khan and offered insights into the director's vision. Both actors were effusive in their praise for Khan, highlighting his unique ability to blend humor with a sharp understanding of the industry's inner workings.
Lakshya playfully referred to Aryan as a "shaitaan" (devil), but clarified that it was a term of endearment, stemming from Aryan's mischievous sense of humor and his knack for pushing boundaries on set. He elaborated that Aryan's "devilish" creativity often led to unexpected and hilarious moments, which ultimately enriched the series' comedic elements.
Raghav echoed Lakshya's sentiments, adding that Aryan possesses a remarkable ability to connect with people, drawing comparisons to Shah Rukh Khan's famous charm and wit. He noted that Aryan's SRK-like humor created a relaxed and collaborative atmosphere on set, encouraging the cast and crew to explore their creative potential.
Beyond his humor, Raghav emphasized Aryan's dedication and commitment to the project. He stated that Aryan poured his "heart, sweat, and blood" into "The Ba***ds of Bollywood," meticulously overseeing every aspect of production. Raghav's observation underscores the director's hands-on approach and unwavering pursuit of excellence.
The series promises to take viewers behind the scenes of Bollywood, exploring the chaotic and often absurd realities of the film industry. The trailer introduces Bobby Deol as superstar Ajay Talwar and Sahher Bambba as his daughter, Karishma, whose acting debut becomes intertwined with Aasmaan's rising career. The plot thickens as Aasmaan's schedule clashes with a film directed by Karan Johar, adding another layer of complexity to his journey.
"The Ba***ds of Bollywood" boasts an ensemble cast, including Anya Singh, Mona Singh, Gautami Kapoor, and Manoj Pahwa. Cameo appearances by Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, and director S.S. Rajamouli add to the series' star power.
The series' music features an original score by Shashwat Sachdev, with songs composed by Sachdev and Anirudh Ravichander. The soundtrack includes vocals from Arijit Singh, Amira Gill, Raja Kumari, and Badshah.
With its blend of satire, comedy, and drama, "The Ba***ds of Bollywood" is poised to offer a fresh and engaging perspective on the Indian film industry. Aryan Khan's unique vision, combined with the talents of Lakshya, Raghav, and the rest of the cast, promises a memorable viewing experience.
