Actor Anil Kapoor has expressed his admiration for Aryan Khan’s directorial debut during the title announcement of his upcoming project, The Ba***ds of Bollywood. The announcement occurred at a Netflix event on Monday when Shah Rukh Khan, Aryan’s father, unveiled the title while showcasing a glimpse of Aryan’s directorial vision.
Anil Kapoor took to social media to congratulate both Aryan and Shah Rukh Khan, emphasizing his excitement by comparing Aryan to the legendary director and producer Manmohan Desai. He stated, “With the Dyavol in the Director’s chair, #TheBadsofBollywood is a sureshot blockbuster! @_aryan_you remind me of a young Manmohan Desai… Congratulations to you, to @iamsrk and the entire family for such a kickass debut!” This comparison highlights the high expectations surrounding Aryan’s creative abilities and the influence of successful filmmakers in Bollywood history.
The title announcement video captured Shah Rukh Khan in a humorous light as he attempted to perform a scene under Aryan’s direction. However, the process was interrupted by his son, leading to a comedic exchange where Shah Rukh expressed his frustration to both the crew and Aryan, ultimately revealing that Aryan forgot to record the scene. This playful interaction not only showcased their father-son dynamics but also added a touch of levity to the event.
While the details about the cast of The Ba***ds of Bollywood remain undisclosed, the project has already garnered significant attention. Produced by Gauri Khan, the series is co-created by Bilal Siddiqi and Manav Chauhan, who share writing responsibilities with Aryan. The official synopsis describes the storyline as one where “an ambitious outsider and his friends navigate the larger-than-life yet uncertain world of Bollywood.” This premise promises a combination of humor and high-stakes drama, with expectations for memorable cameos and thrilling experiences in the realm of Indian cinema.
Shah Rukh Khan expressed his joy at the considerable press turnout for the event, remarking on the significance of such support for his children as they embark on their own careers in the industry. He expressed a heartfelt wish for them to receive at least a fraction of the love he has enjoyed from audiences over the years. As Aryan Khan prepares for this pivotal moment in his career, the excitement surrounding his debut is palpable, and many are eager to see how he will contribute to the vibrant landscape of Bollywood. Anil Kapoor’s endorsements add weight to the anticipation, setting a positive tone as audiences await Aryan’s unique storytelling style and vision in The Ba***ds of Bollywood.
