Bohot hard. Aur bohot heart bhi….

- How far would you go for your dreams?
- What are you willing to sacrifice along the way?
- And most importantly, can you survive Bollywood’s baddies?

A Father-Son Moment that Stole the Show
One of the highlights of the launch event was the moment Shah Rukh Khan joined Aryan on stage. The proud father introduced the world of The Ba***ds of Bollywood while Aryan shared his creative vision. “I wanted to build a world that feels alive a mix of glitz and grit, where ambition shines, egos clash, and nothing is as it seems,” Aryan explained. He also credited Netflix for supporting his team in shaping the story “exactly how it needed to be told raw, stylized, and unlike anything audiences have seen before.”
Shah Rukh Khan, visibly beaming with pride, added: “It’s a proud moment to see Aryan carve out his vision with such clarity and edge. This is storytelling that’s sharp, self aware, and unapologetically bold. I believe audiences on Netflix will connect not just to its style, but also to its heart.”
Music to Match the Madness
No Bollywood story is complete without music, and this series doesn’t disappoint. The soundtrack is presented by T-Series and composed by Shashwat Sachdev, with guest contributions from celebrated names like Anirudh Ravichander and Ujwal Gupta. Expect a soundscape that mirrors the series’ edgy tone energetic, experimental, and unforgettable.
With The Ba***ds of Bollywood, Aryan Khan is stepping into the world of storytelling with remarkable ambition. From the teaser alone, it’s clear that the series is set to deliver an intoxicating mix of drama, satire, ambition, and grit all wrapped in the sparkle of Bollywood.
Mark your calendars for September 18, 2025. This isn’t just another show it’s the arrival of a new voice in Indian storytelling, one that promises to shake things up.
