Aryan Khan steps into the director’s chair with The Ba**ds of Bollywood, a series that offers a fresh and daring take on the highs and lows of Bollywood. The trailer has already stirred excitement, with many appreciating its sharp humor, honest narrative, and bold characters.
Instead of merely riding the wave of Bollywood nostalgia, Aryan Khan’s venture takes a satirical yet affectionate look at the industry’s inner workings, exposing the power plays, egos, and dreams that clash behind the scenes. At its core, the story follows Aasmaan Singh (played by newcomer Lakshya), a fresh-faced aspirant driven by ambition, ready to face the harsh realities of Bollywood. Supported by his quick-witted best friend Parvaiz (Raghav Juyal) and savvy manager Sanya (Anya Singh), Aasmaan’s journey is both aspirational and cautionary—a mirror reflecting the price of chasing fame.

What sets The Ba**ds of Bollywood apart is its bold and honest storytelling. Rather than just celebrating Bollywood’s shine, The Ba**ds of Bollywood takes a raw look at its inner workings, where ambition often spirals into rivalry, ego battles, and emotional struggles. The evolving dynamic between superstar Ajay Talvar as Bobby Deol and his daughter Karishma aka Sahher Bambba brings both family drama and industry politics into sharp focus.
A major highlight of The Ba**ds of Bollywood is its impressive lineup of celebrity cameos. The rare moment where the three Khans share the screen has already created a historic buzz, while appearances by Ranveer Singh, Sara Ali Khan, SS Rajamouli, Badshah, and Disha Patani further elevate the series’ star appeal. These guest spots go beyond mere star power, offering a playful yet insightful look at fame and the world of celebrities.
Music plays a central role in The Ba**ds of Bollywood, adding energy and emotion to the story. Shashwat Sachdev, Anirudh Ravichander, and Ujwal Gupta’s compositions have struck a chord, making the soundtrack an instant hit. The track “Badli Si Hawa Hai,” featuring Arijit Singh and Amira Gill, captures the show’s bold and rebellious spirit, while “Tu Pehli Tu Aakhri” brings out the emotional journey of ambition and longing.
Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and backed by the reach of Netflix, The Ba**ds of Bollywood* is more than just a web series—it’s an audacious commentary on the industry itself. By blending satire, spectacle, and self-aware storytelling, Aryan Khan steps into a domain that’s both risky and exhilarating.
Set to premiere globally on September 18, the series is already being tagged as one of the most talked-about releases of the year. For audiences seeking a no-holds-barred peek into the chaotic, glamorous, and ruthless world of Bollywood, this is one ride worth taking.
