The post marks a huge moment for Aryan Khan, as The Bads of Bollywood* serves as his directorial debut. Produced by Gauri Khan under the Red Chillies Entertainment banner, the Netflix series has quickly made waves by topping IMDb’s list of most popular Indian series of 2025, achieving the feat just weeks after its September premiere. The achievement firmly establishes Aryan as a promising new creative voice in the industry.
The series offers a sharp, satirical take on the chaotic and often absurd underbelly of Bollywood, following the journey of an ambitious outsider navigating fame, power, and politics. Its bold storytelling, dark humor, and self-aware narrative have struck a chord with audiences, making it one of the most talked-about Indian shows on streaming this year.
Adding to the buzz is the show’s star-studded cast, featuring names like Lakshya, Sahher Bambba, Raghav Juyal, Anya Singh, Gautami Kapoor, Manoj Pahwa, and others. One of the biggest talking points, however, has been Shah Rukh Khan’s surprise cameo, which sent fans into a frenzy and significantly boosted the show’s viral appeal across social media platforms.
Gauri Khan’s celebratory message also highlighted the collaborative effort behind the success, tagging key contributors and cast members, reinforcing the sense of a team victory rather than just an individual achievement. Her support underscores the strong creative foundation behind Red Chillies Entertainment’s expanding presence in the OTT space.
With The Bads of Bollywood* claiming the top spot and earning both critical and audience appreciation, Aryan Khan’s debut couldn’t have been more impactful. As the series continues to trend and spark conversations, it’s clear that this Netflix hit is more than just a show—it’s a confident statement from the next generation of Bollywood storytellers.
