Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan, is stepping into direction with a Netflix series called The Ba***ds of Bollywood. The show will be released on September 18, 2025. It was first revealed to the public at a launch event in Mumbai on August 20. This was the first time Aryan spoke about his work in public, introduced the cast, and shared his vision with the audience.

During the event, Aryan invited his father, Shah Rukh Khan, to join him on stage. Aryan joked that if he made any mistakes during his speech, his father would take the blame. This light-hearted moment helped break the tension and made everyone feel connected.

The show is co-created and written by Aryan, Bilal Siddiqi, and Manav Chauhan. It is produced by Red Chillies Entertainment. It follows the story of someone outside the Hindi film industry trying to break in. It explores the challenges of fame, power, and ambition in Bollywood.

The cast includes Lakshya, Sahher Bambba, Raghav Juyal, Bobby Deol, Manoj Pahwa, Mona Singh, Gautami Kapoor, and others. Shah Rukh Khan also lends his voice for narration. Big stars like Salman Khan and Ranveer Singh are expected to make cameo appearances in the show.

The official poster and trailer were shared at the event. The trailer was well received online. It gives a glimpse into the show’s tone. The mood seems serious yet engaging, and the show highlights how tough the film industry can be.

A key part of the promotion was the first song, “Badli Si Hawa Hai”. The music is by Anirudh Ravichander, and the vocals are by Arijit Singh and Amira Gill. It was released on August 23, 2025, and is being called a lively track for young audiences.

Shah Rukh Khan became emotional during his speech. He praised Aryan for his work and asked his fans to support him fully, just as they have supported Shah Rukh himself.

The lead actor, Lakshya, spoke of Aryan’s thoughtful approach. He said Aryan paid attention to detail and treated the cast with respect.

The Ba***ds of Bollywood is not just another Netflix show. It marks the beginning of Aryan’s career as a storyteller. He did not choose to act like his father. Instead, he is moving into content creation through writing and direction.

The series is expected to draw strong attention for its content and because people are curious about Aryan’s debut. With his creative team and support from Shah Rukh Khan, The Ba***ds of Bollywood will be watched by fans and critics when it premieres in September.
