‘Entertaining, wacky, and emotional’: SRK on Aryan’s directorial debut; first look to be unveiled

Shah Rukh Khan has sent fans into a frenzy after confirming that he will make an appearance in his son Aryan Khan's eagerly awaited directorial debut, Ba***ards of Bollywood.

Returning after a long break, SRK revived his popular 'Ask SRK' session on X (formerly Twitter), where he once again charmed fans with his signature wit. During the session, one fan asked if he would make a cameo in Aryan's first project. SRK responded warmly, saying, "Lots of lovely friends from the industry have participated in Aryan's series. They've been very gracious and loving toward him. Main toh hun hi... Haq se!"

Another fan was curious about SRK's thoughts on Aryan's directorial work. Without giving away too much, he shared his "honest review": "It's very good. You all see and decide... but it's very entertaining, wacky, and emotional. Honest review!"

The Netflix series marks Aryan Khan's directorial debut and has generated considerable excitement ever since it was officially announced on February 3 earlier this year.

The official synopsis of the series reads: "An ambitious outsider and his friends navigate the larger-than-life yet uncertain world of Bollywood. The series blends self-aware humour with a high-stakes narrative -- and promises a host of unforgettable cameos, blockbuster thrills and an adventurous ride into the world of Indian cinema."

Netlfix announced that the first look of the series will be released on August 17. Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, the series is rumoured to feature cameos from Bobby Deol, Ranbir Kapoor, and several other big names. However, the release date remains tightly under wraps for now. The series is co-created by Bilal Siddiqi and Manav Chauhan, who also share writing credits with Aryan.

In the meantime, Shah Rukh Khan recently won his first-ever National Film Award. The actor was honoured with the Best Actor award at the 71st National Film Awards for his powerful performance in Jawan. SRK made his highly anticipated return to the big screen in January 2023 after a four-year break with YRF's Pathaan, which shattered box-office records and drew a massive audience. Following the success of Pathaan, SRK delivered another blockbuster with Jawan, which not only captivated audiences but also earned him his first National Award.
