Aryan Khan’s Directorial Debut Gets a Teasing Nod from Shah Rukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan, in classic King Khan fashion, took to X yesterday to stir up excitement with a cheeky teaser for The Ba**ds of Bollywood*, the directorial debut of his son, Aryan Khan. The post, sprinkled with SRK’s signature wit, hinted at Netflix “overdelivering” on fans’ wishes—followed by a clear message: "get used to it." The preview is set to drop on August 20, 2025, and fans are already counting down.

 

This marks a big step in Aryan’s creative journey. After co-founding the premium lifestyle brand D'yavol and dabbling in entrepreneurship, he’s now donning the director’s hat. The series is backed by Red Chillies Entertainment (no surprises there), with proud parents Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan steering from the producer’s seat. It’s not just a family affair—it’s a generational handoff in India’s most-watched industry.

 

The cast is a blend of seasoned and fresh: Bobby Deol (making villainy cool again), Lakshya, Sahher Bambba, Raghav Juyal, and more. With names like Aryan and Bobby in one frame, fans are expecting a cocktail of style, intensity, and maybe even a dash of dark humor. The teaser didn’t give away much—but enough to send social media into a frenzy.

 

Naturally, comparisons to Shah Rukh’s early work are already being made. But Aryan seems to be carving a different path—not in front of the camera, but behind it. And that alone has intrigued fans and critics alike. Will Aryan live up to the legacy or completely redefine it? The buzz says both are possible.

 

As the countdown to August 20 begins, one thing’s clear: The Ba**ds of Bollywood* is no ordinary debut. It’s a launch pad for a new Khan-era narrative—one that starts with a Netflix logo, some bold casting choices, and a teaser that promises more than just hype.
