Ba***ds of Bollywood first look: Aryan Khan channels Mohabbatein's Shah Rukh Khan, says "picture toh saalo se baaki lekin show ab shuru hoga"

The first official look at Aryan Khan's eagerly awaited directing debut, Ba***ds of Bollywood, has finally been released. With this upcoming Netflix series that offers a scathing, humorous, and unreserved look at the glittering yet chaotic world of Bollywood, the young Khan is poised to take centre stage—not as an actor, but as a filmmaker.

In the teaser, Aryan Khan begins with a voice-over that cleverly echoes his father Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic dialogue from Mohabbatein, giving the opening a nostalgic yet playful touch. Moments later, he appears on screen and breaks into his own tongue-in-cheek style, saying:

“Zyaada hogya na? Aadat daalo... kyunki mera show bhi thoda zyada hai” (“Too much, wasn’t it? Get used to it, because my show is a bit too much as well”).

He follows this with another witty line: “Aur hai kis baarein mein? Bollywood” (“And what’s it about? Bollywood”), before adding with deliberate flair, “Jisse aapne saalo se pyaar bhi kia aur vaar bhi kia, toh main bhi wohi karunga, bohot saara pyaar aur thoda sa vaar” (“The industry you have both loved and attacked for years—so I’ll do the same, with a lot of love and a little bit of fire”).

The teaser concludes with Aryan’s bold declaration: “Kyunki picture toh saalo se baaki lekin show, ab shuru hoga” (“Because while the film has been pending for years, the show begins now”).
