Aryan Khan’s directorial debut ‘The Ba***ds of Bollywood’ first glimpse out

Netflix and Red Chillies Entertainment Pvt. Ltd. unveiled a first glimpse of the highly anticipated series The Ba***ds of Bollywood, marking Aryan Khan’s directorial debut.

In the first glimpse, Aryan’s voiceover ushers in a romantic vibe only to close with a stinging rejoinder, kicking off the familiar Hindi film nostalgia. But what seems like a soft homage quickly flips into something sharper and louder.

The makers described the series as as, “Set against a filmy backdrop, the first glimpse signals a generational shift, where the romance of the past meets the vision of a new storyteller. The Ba***ds of Bollywood is a genre-defying series that blends self-awareness with cheeky humour.”

Aryan takes centre screen for the first time, teasing his debut series. In the video, he says, “Bollywood – jisse aapne saalon se pyaar bhi kiya aur vaar bhi kiya, main bhi wohi karunga, bohot saara pyaar… aur thoda sa vaar (You have loved Bollywood for years and attacked it as well. I will do the same).”

The series hints at a stylised yet chaotic world, provocative yet rooted. The Ba***ds of Bollywood stars Bobby Deol, Lakshya, Sahher Bambba, Manoj Pahwa, Mona Singh, Manish Chaudhari, Raghav Juyal, Anya Singh, Vijayant Kohli, and Gautami Kapoor.
