Aryan Khan’s Big Debut on Netflix
The wait is finally over. Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, is making his directorial and writing debut with The Bastards of Bollywood, streaming on Netflix from September 18. Produced by Gauri Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment, the show has been in the spotlight ever since Aryan unveiled its preview with Shah Rukh and Gauri by his side, generating massive buzz across social media.
With Shah Rukh Khan lending his voiceover to the series, the show dives into the world of Bollywood through a sharp, satirical lens. It follows the journey of Aasmaan Singh, an outsider played by Lakshya, who dreams of making it big in the film industry.
Plot and Themes of The Bastards of Bollywood
At its heart, the series is a mix of humor, drama, and reality-check moments that reflect the highs and lows of life in the Hindi film industry. Aasmaan’s journey to stardom is filled with both triumphs and struggles, as he navigates love, fame, betrayal, and the relentless chaos of the industry.
The story also weaves in the emotional support system around him and his family, including his uncle Avtar, mother Neeta, and father Rajat Singh, along with his best friend Parvaiz and manager Sanya. The satirical undertone makes the narrative relatable, self-aware, and refreshing in its approach.
In a striking final scene, Aasmaan is shown leaving prison, with a policeman remarking that time behind bars often brings even more fame, a cheeky nod that has already caught viewers’ attention.
Star Cast and Cameos
The series features an ensemble cast led by Bobby Deol, Lakshya, Sahher Bambba, Manoj Pahwa, Mona Singh, Manish Chaudhari, Raghav Juyal, Anya Singh, and Vijayant Kohli, with Rajat Bedi and Gautami Kapoor in important roles.
