Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood Baadshah Shah Rukh Khan, is gearing up for his directorial debut with the web show The Bads of Bollywood. As promised, Netflix dropped the preview this evening, and it looks solid with all the crowd-pleasing elements.
As mentioned earlier, the series takes a jab at the Hindi film industry, showcasing what happens behind the silver screen—humor, party culture, drama, controversies, rumors, and relationships. The preview opens with Shah Rukh Khan’s voiceover, where he says that Bollywood is a city of dreams, but quickly adds that not everyone can thrive.

We are then introduced to the principal cast. Kill fame Lakshya plays an upcoming star, Aasman Singh, who doesn’t want to be one among many and instead stands out with his no-holds-barred attitude. Raghav Juyal plays his friend. Bobby Deol appears as the biggest superstar, Ajay Talvar. Salman Khan, Ranveer Singh, and Karan Johar also make cameo appearances.

The peppy background score, composed by Shashwat Sachdev, complements the quirky nature of the teaser. Aryan Khan even inserted a meta reference to himself through a dialogue, suggesting that people become more famous after going to jail. The production values by Red Chillies Entertainment are splendid. The series is set to stream on Netflix from September 18.

Balakrishna’s son Mokshagna’s debut film was announced with HanuMan director Prasanth Varma long ago, but since then, there have been no updates. This led to speculations that the project might be shelved, which the team has denied. With no visible progress, fans continue to wonder about the film’s status.

During the promotions of Sundarakanda, Nara Rohit revealed the real reason behind Mokshagna’s delayed debut. He said, “I met him recently. He mentioned that he is looking into scripts. Mokshagna will be launched either by the end of this year or next year. He is prepping for his big launch and is very excited and confident.”

The actor added, “Mokshagna has transformed remarkably. His looks have improved drastically. He told me he is looking forward to an exciting love story and is focused on finding the right script, and hence, there is a delay. I felt very happy upon hearing Mokshagna’s thought process.” It’s really impressive that the star kid is aiming to debut with a love story rather than an action film, moving away from the routine.
