Netflix’s The Ba***ds of Bollywood hints at a show that’s fast-paced, set in a stylised yet chaotic world, laced with self-aware humour, and a tongue-in-cheek tone. It’s the ultimate underdog story that asks: how far will you go for your dream, what are you willing to lose, and can you survive a few Bollywood baddies along the way (pun totally intended!)

In a moment that had the crowd buzzing, Shah Rukh Khan and Aryan Khan took the stage to introduce the world of The Ba***ds of Bollywood. Aryan spoke about creating a story inspired by real emotions and human ambition, saying, “With The Ba***ds of Bollywood, I wanted to build a world that feels alive, a mix of glitz and grit, where ambition shines, egos clash, and nothing is ever as it seems. In Netflix, we found a partner who shared our creative vision—helping us tell the story exactly how it needed to be told, raw, stylised, and something the world has never experienced before.” (Image: Viral Bhayani)
Shah Rukh Khan reflected on the pride of watching a new voice emerge, “It’s a proud moment to see Aryan carve out his vision with such clarity and edge. This is storytelling that’s sharp, self-aware, and unapologetically bold, and I think audiences on Netflix will connect to the heart of it as much as its style.” (Image: Viral Bhayani)
The music of the series from label T-Series is highly anticipated. It was composed by Shashwat Sachdev, with guest composers Anirudh Ravichander and Ujwal Gupta. (Image: Viral Bhayani)
The first look set the tone for a show that’s equal parts ambition, humour, drama, and heart, all wrapped in Aryan Khan’s fresh directorial vision. (Image: Viral Bhayani)
