'The Ba***ds of Bollywood': Sameer Wankhede's look-alike in Aryan Khan's show makes fans praise casting

'The Ba***ds of Bollywood' is out on Netflix. Aryan Khan has delivered a masala series loaded with satirical humour. It is a dig on the Hindi film industry especially the Insider Vs Outsider debate. The show is aimed at today’s youth with its humour, narration and packaging. We have numerous cameos in the series, and each of them is a hoot. The ones of Emraan Hashmi, Ranveer Singh, Karan Johar and Salman Khan is getting a lot of love. However, fans were amused to see a look alike of Sameer Wankhede. The actor looks so much like the government official that fans praised Red Chillies casting to the skies.

As we know, Sameer Wankhede was the NCB officer in the Aryan Khan drugs case. He was the one who was said to be in the thick of things. In the series, we can see the actor don a Louis Vuitton belt and make an entry in true Dabangg style. People felt it was a dig at his image of being a modest government servant, which was later contested by many. Aryan Khan got bail after 20 days with his case being fought by top lawyers like Mukul Rastogi, Satish Maneshinde and Raian Karanjawala.

Almost everyone was of the opinion that the arrest of Aryan Khan was unjust. No drug was found on him, nor had he tested positive for anything in the medical examinations. Netizens are aghast thinking how could Aryan Khan do a parody on that matter on the show. 'The Ba***ds of Bollywood' is one of the biggest projects to come out of Netflix India in 2025. Ted Sandros said that he had seen it and it was a testament to Aryan Khan’s talent. Shah Rukh Khan’s son is keen to become a filmmaker and screenwriter. While fans feel he has the good looks for a hero filmmaking is what excites him.
