Aryan Khan’s directorial debut The Ba***ds of Bollywood was announced at Netflix’s ‘Next on Netflix’ event on Monday and the occasion was graced by Aryan’s father superstar Shah Rukh Khan, along with his wife Gauri and daughter Suhana.

While addressing the gathering, SRK embraced the role of a proud father and expressed his wish that his children also receive the adulation he has from audiences over the years. “Guzaarish aur bahut dil se main chaahunga ki mere bete jo apna pehla kadam rakh rahe hai direction mein, mere beti jo actress ban rahi hai, un sabko bhi 50 per cent pyaar bhi agar ye duniya dede jitna mujhe diya hai toh bahut zyada hoga (I request and wish from the bottom of my heart that my son, who is taking his first step in film direction, and my daughter, who is becoming an actor, if they receive even 50 per cent of the love the world has given me, it would be too much).”

He added, “I just want to thank all the colleagues that I have, who participated in the series; they have done so well. I had the opportunity to watch a few episodes of the series. It’s really nice and very funny. I love funny things. Mere jokes pe log bura maan jaate hai, takleef ho jaati hai. Toh maine jokes karna chod diya. Maine ye virasat apne bete ko de diya. Maine kaha ‘jaa beta, baap ka naam raushan kar’ (People often take offence to my jokes, so I have stopped joking. I have passed this to my son Aryan and told him ‘Go make your father proud’).”

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.”
