Shah Rukh Khan, Thalapathy Vijay, Dhanush - Stars whose kids choose to be behind the camera

Shah Rukh Khan took to his social media handles to announce Aryan Khan’s upcoming project for Netflix. This is his debut as a director. Stardom, his show is about how an outsider navigates in the world of Bollywood. Kangana Ranaut took to social media and said it is nice to see a star kid choose other fields of cinema than acting.

Well, Aryan Khan is not the only star kid who decided to pursue something else in cinema than acting.

Aryan Khan

Aryan Khan was coaxed to join films as an actor on many occasions. It seems Karan Johar himself wanted to launch him. But the young man is keen on writing and directing movies. He feels that is his forte. Moreover, there would be the case of constant comparisons with his superstar father. Aryan Khan became an entrepreneur with his luxury streetwear brand, and then moved to direction. His first project for Netflix was announced yesterday by Shah Rukh Khan on his social media handles. This comes after Suhana Khan’s debut as an actress. Aryan Khan has got actors like Bobby Deol, Mona Singh, Manoj Pahwa on his show.

Jason Sanjay, son of Thalapathy Vijay

Like Aryan Khan, Thalapathy Vijay’s son Jason Sanjay is also becoming a director. He has studied filmmaking in Toronto and has a Honours degree in Screenwriting from London. Jason Sanjay’s first film will be made by Lyca Productions. It will star Sundeep Kishan in the main role. A picture of Jason Sanjay with management of the production house went viral last year. Thalapathy Vijay has a cult fan following in South India and Jason could have easily become an hero.

Dhanush's son Yatra

Dhanush’s elder son Yathra is also keen on a career in the movies. He has worked as a lyricist in his father’s film Raayan. Yathra is keen to become a cinematographer in the movies. The young man spends time with his dad on the sets to know more about the craft.
