Did you know Aamir Khan, SS Rajamouli’s cameo in Bads of Bollywood was shot in just 20 minutes by Aryan Khan when they came to meet him?

Aryan Khan’s Netflix debut, The Bads Of Bollywood, has been a constant topic of conversation ever since its release. Packed with bold storytelling and sharp satire on the Hindi film industry, the show recently caught even more attention when fans noticed an unexpected cameo by superstar Aamir Khan and master filmmaker SS Rajamouli. What made it even more intriguing was that the moment wasn’t planned at all.

Actor Anya Singh, who essays the role of Sanya, the manager, revealed the backstory during a chat with Mamarazzi. She shared that the cameo was born out of pure spontaneity while the team was shooting at Mehboob Studio. Aryan Khan discovered that Aamir Khan and SS Rajamouli were present nearby for another project. Excited by the coincidence, Aryan decided not to let the opportunity slip.

According to Anya, Aryan quickly told her and Lakshya to rush for a costume change while he figured out the scene. “Like Aamir sir and SS Rajamouli sir’s scene… Aryan got super excited. He said, ‘They only have 20 minutes, so go change and by the time you’re back, I’ll put the scene together.’ And in that much time he actually crafted it,” she recalled.

Within just 20 minutes, Aryan conceptualized, staged, and directed the cameo. The impromptu scene was shot seamlessly, blending into the narrative, and has since become one of the most talked-about highlights of the series.

The show itself is a star-studded affair. While it primarily follows the journey of Aasmaan Singh (played by Lakshya), an outsider navigating the ruthless world of Bollywood, it also features a mix of cameos from industry giants including Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Karan Johar, Ranveer Singh, and more.

Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, The Bads Of Bollywood is Aryan Khan’s bold step into the world of storytelling. With humour, drama, and biting commentary, the series paints a vivid picture of the glamour and grit of the film industry. And with moments like Aamir and Rajamouli’s unplanned cameo, Aryan has already shown that he knows how to seize the moment and turn spontaneity into screen magic.
