Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, Ba*ds of Bollywood, starring Bobby Deol and Lakshya, is set to premiere on Netflix in June 2025.
Aryan Khan makes his directorial debut with Ba*ds of Bollywood, a satirical Netflix series featuring Bobby Deol, Lakshya, and special appearances by Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan.
Bollywood is no stranger to grand debuts, but when the son of Shah Rukh Khan steps into the director’s chair, expectations soar to an entirely new level. Aryan Khan’s first project, Ba***ds of Bollywood, has already created waves with its unique premise, sharp humor, and a cast packed with some of the biggest names in Indian cinema. Adding to the excitement, the announcement video—featuring a hilarious father-son dynamic between Aryan and SRK—instantly became a viral sensation, setting the stage for one of the most anticipated releases of the year.
Now, Pinkvilla has learned that Ba***ds of Bollywood, headlined by Lakshya and Bobby Deol, will premiere on Netflix in the first week of June. The series is being positioned as the first major post-IPL release, leveraging the transition from cricket season to Bollywood binge-watching. “The entire promotional strategy is designed around IPL, ensuring that by the time the tournament wraps, audiences are ready to dive into this high-stakes, laugh-out-loud take on the film industry,” a source close to the project revealed.
Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, Ba***ds of Bollywood is more than just another web series—it’s a deep dive into the chaotic, glamorous, and unpredictable world of Hindi cinema, told through a sharp-witted lens. According to insiders, Netflix and the production house have meticulously planned the release strategy, ensuring a massive promotional push throughout the IPL season to maximize visibility.
“This is not just about star power—it’s about storytelling with a twist. While the series features a powerhouse ensemble, the core narrative revolves around Bobby Deol playing a seasoned Bollywood star and Lakshya as an ambitious newcomer trying to navigate the industry’s madness,” the source added.
The cast alone makes Ba***ds of Bollywood a must-watch, but what’s really setting the internet ablaze are the special appearances. Bollywood’s biggest superstars—Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan—are all making cameos, adding a layer of nostalgia and meta-humor to the show. Ranbir Kapoor, Ranveer Singh, and Alia Bhatt also feature as themselves, embracing Bollywood’s self-referential culture.
Adding further credibility to this inside look at the industry, ace filmmakers SS Rajamouli and Karan Johar will also appear in key roles, blurring the lines between fiction and reality.
In true Shah Rukh Khan fashion, the show’s reveal was nothing short of theatrical. The announcement video opens with SRK stepping onto a dramatic set, exuding his signature charisma. Just as he begins his monologue, a voice interrupts—“Cut… ek aur take, Sir?”
The voice belongs to Aryan Khan, seated behind the camera, directing his father with a calm yet firm demeanor. What follows is a hilariously exaggerated exchange as Aryan keeps adjusting SRK’s performance—faster, slower, more emotion, less drama—until the frustrated superstar finally erupts.
“Tere baap ka raaj hai kya?” SRK snaps.
Without missing a beat, Aryan smirks. “Haan.”
The video culminates in the grand reveal of the title—Ba***ds of Bollywood—as SRK delivers an epic monologue, promising a show unlike anything Bollywood has seen before. Just when the moment seems perfect, Aryan delivers one last cheeky line: “Papa… Camera roll nahi hua. Ek aur milega?”
At its core, Ba***ds of Bollywood is an audacious, entertaining, and deeply self-aware take on the Hindi film industry. Packed with humor, drama, and a satirical edge, Aryan Khan’s directorial debut promises to be a rollercoaster ride through the highs and lows of stardom.
With its grand Netflix debut set for June, all eyes are now on this one-of-a-kind series that dares to showcase Bollywood like never before.
