Weeks after the release of Aryan Khan’s debut directorial series, The Ba***ds of Bollywood, a behind-the-scenes video was unveiled by him and Shah Rukh Khan in a joint Instagram post. The video features Aryan in action as he directs actors, enacts scenes and interacts with the cast and crew during the shooting.
Shah Rukh and Aryan shared the video on Instagram with a small twist where users have to put a code to access the video. The hint to the code is in Episode 6 of the show at 4:22 minutes. It is a scene featuring Shah Rukh and his conversation with Rajat Bedi’s character, Jaraj. The video gets unlocked once the code “Jaraj” is inserted.
The BTS video begins with a voiceover of Shah Rukh, saying, “Bollywood—a city of dreams. But this city doesn’t belong to all.” It then features Aryan holding a camera and shooting an action scene. Arshad Warsi speaks highly of him and says, “He is one of those directors who cannot think small. He thinks big and shoots in detail.” Emraan Hashmi praises him too and says, “He is a stickler for perfection. He really wants what he wants. I really admire that in a director”. Next, Aryan is seen enacting a scene where he rolls down a set of stairs and falls. Raghav Juyal, Lakshya, Bobby Deol and Badshah also briefly feature in the video. At one point, Aamir Khan is seen calling Aryan. Aamir says referring to someone else, “Hey listen. Come here. He is very rude yaar.”
The caption to the video read, “Episodes toh bohot hai par behind-the-scenes sirf ek (There are many episodes but only one behind-the-scenes)!”
The Ba***ds of Bollywood was released on Netflix on September 18 and was produced by Shah Rukh’s Red Chillies Entertainment. It also starred Manoj Pahwa, Sahher Bammba, Mona Singh and Anya Singh in pivotal roles.
