Aryan Khan switches roles, films father Shah Rukh Khan at Netflix series launch

The premiere of Netflix’s much-anticipated series The Ba***ds Of Bollywood took place on September 17 at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) in Mumbai. The red-carpet event drew a mix of film industry names and business figures, marking a high-profile debut for Aryan Khan as the series’ creator and director under Red Chillies Entertainment.

Aryan’s family attended together, including father Shah Rukh Khan, mother Gauri Khan, and siblings Suhana and AbRam Khan. While the family coordinated in classic black ensembles, Suhana stood out in a gold outfit. The evening, however, had one notable highlight: Aryan briefly assumed the role of cameraman for his father. As Shah Rukh posed for photographers, Aryan captured the moment, and the video quickly went viral on social media. Fans shared clips widely, noting the casual yet touching interaction between father and son.

The premiere brought together a mix of cast and celebrities. Bobby Deol, Lakshya, and Raghav Juyal, all part of the series, were present alongside industry figures such as Karan Johar, Radhika Merchant, and Akash Ambani. The Ambanis, who maintain close ties with the Khans, were a prominent presence. Radhika Merchant wore a red gown, while Akash and Shloka Ambani posed together for photographs, generating significant social media buzz.

The Ba**ds Of Bollywood follows Aasmaan Singh (Lakshya), a newcomer attempting to make his mark in the Hindi film industry. The show explores the chaos and competition behind the glamour, offering a self-aware mix of comedy and drama. Other cast members include Bobby Deol, Sahher Bambba, Mona Singh, Manish Chaudhari, Anya Singh, Manoj Pahwa, Vijayant Kohli, Rajat Bedi, and Gautami Kapoor. Netflix has described the series as a high-energy, “filmiest” take on the industry, featuring multiple cameo appearances.

The premiere offered a blend of personal and professional moments, combining family dynamics with the larger-than-life atmosphere of a Bollywood launch. Aryan’s dual presence as both director and cameraman was a moment that stood out, showing an unusual mix of preparation and spontaneity at a high-profile event.
