Aryan Khan is gearing up for his directorial debut with the Netflix series The Ba**ds of Bollywood*, produced by his mother, Gauri Khan.
The promotional launch event for the series took place in Mumbai last night, attended by Aryan Khan, his father Shah Rukh Khan, mother Gauri Khan, and sister Suhana Khan. During the event, the makers unveiled a teaser, giving a glimpse into the much-anticipated project.
Shah Rukh Khan later shared the teaser on X, where he is seen repeatedly attempting to deliver a line while Aryan directs him. Fans were amused as Shah Rukh kept struggling to nail a single take, eventually losing patience. The video captured lighthearted moments between the father-son duo.
The Viral Exchange Between Aryan & Shah Rukh Khan
In the teaser, Aryan, as the director, keeps prompting his father to redo a dialogue. Annoyed yet playful, Shah Rukh quips:
“Shut up… one more one more… Tere baap ka raj hai kya (Does your father own this business)?”
To this, Aryan Khan wittily replies:
“Haan.”

About The Ba**ds of Bollywood*
Shah Rukh Khan officially revealed the title of the series at Netflix’s 2025 slate announcement event. The show, Aryan’s first as a director, is set in the heart of the Bollywood film industry. It promises an “unabashed, entertaining ride” following the journey of an ambitious outsider navigating the glamorous yet complex world of Bollywood.
Shah Rukh praised his son’s dedication, emphasizing that the project was a collective effort involving many talented individuals.
SRK’s Witty Take on Aryan’s Directorial Venture
Being his usual humorous self, Shah Rukh shared that Aryan had strictly told him not to reveal details about the series. He jokingly said:
“Sab show dikhayenge, hum tumhe dikhayenge (Everyone will showcase their upcoming shows, we will show you). I am ghar ki murgi dal barabar for Gauri and Aryan.”
SRK also reflected on Aryan and Suhana’s childhood, recalling how they grew up around Bollywood legends. He shared:
“The environment where Suhana and Aryan grew up, they used to see Adi (Aditya Chopra), Hrithik (Roshan), Karan (Johar) at our house all the time. They used to wonder, “Sab kya TV pe kaam karte hai (Does everyone work in TV?)”
A Warm Welcome for Aryan & Suhana
During the event, Shah Rukh expressed his gratitude for the actors who collaborated with Aryan on the project. He also hoped that both Aryan, as a director, and Suhana, as an actress, would receive the same warmth and support from fans.
“Guzaarish aur bahut dil se main chaahunga ki mere bete jo apna pehla kadam rakh rahe hai direction mein, mere beti jo actress ban rahi hai, un sabko bhi 50 percent pyaar bhi agar ye duniya dede jitna mujhe diya hai toh bahut zyada hoga (I sincerely request that my son, taking his first step into direction, and my daughter, becoming an actress, receive even 50% of the love the world has given me – it would be more than enough).”

Co-created by Bilal Siddiqi and Manav Chauhan, The Ba**ds of Bollywood* is written by Aryan Khan alongside them. The series is produced by Gauri Khan under Red Chillies Entertainment.
