Netflix has released the trailer of Aryan Khan’s highly expected debut show, The Bads of Bollywood, and it’s already making waves on social media. The satirical, starry drama is promising a rollercoaster ride through the glitzy but crazy life of the Hindi film business.
A Satirical Exploration of Bollywood’s Dark Side
The seven-episode series tracks Aasmaan Singh (Lakshya), a young hotshot eager to leave his mark in the world of film. With his dependable best friend Parvaiz (Raghav Juyal) and shrewd manager Sanya (Anya Singh) in tow, Aasmaan’s quest for stardom is never easy. His greatest hurdle? Superstar Ajay Talvar, essayed by Bobby Deol, who becomes Aasmaan’s perfect foil to underdog determination.
Aiding to the lunacy is a cast of shambolic industry players—ranging from has-been actors to ruthless producers—giving shambolic execution to the underlying workings of Bollywood.
Historic Cameos: Aamir, Shah Rukh, and SS Rajamouli Share Screen
What’s making big headlines is the unexpected cameo of Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and SS Rajamouli — all on screen simultaneously for the first time ever. The historic cameo threesome has set fans abuzz. Previously, Salman Khan also made a cameo in the teaser, contributing to the show’s star value.
Aryan Khan Steps Behind the Camera
Aryan Khan, the co-creator and director of the series, offers a new voice with acid-tongued one-liners, wry wit, and an outsider’s perspective on Bollywood. There are also guest appearances by Ranveer Singh, Sara Ali Khan, Badshah, and Disha Patani.
Release Date and Expectations
Premiering on September 18, The Bads of Bollywood appears to be a laugh-out-loud, bold, and irreverent celebration of the Indian film industry’s craziness.
