Shah Rukh Khan’s son, Aryan Khan, is all set to make his directorial debut with a Netflix series titled The Ba***ds of Bollywood and at the recently concluded Waves Summit 2025, Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos endorsed the show by calling it “really fun.” Ted was in conversation with actor Saif Ali Khan, who shared that he, too, has watched some parts of the show as his “kids have done a little appearance in it.”

When Ted was asked about the upcoming titles on Netflix, he shared, “We have a show called The Ba***ds of Bollywood coming up that is really fun, and I am going to leave the audience to try to figure out the title completely, but it is so fun. I am four episodes in.” Saif added, “I have to say I saw a little bit of that show as well, the one you just mentioned and it looked fantastic. My kids have done a little appearance in it.” Saif’s daughter Sara Ali Khan and son Ibrahim Ali Khan are both film actors.

The full title of the show has not been revealed yet but at an earlier event hosted by Netflix India, Shah Rukh Khan said, “There is a story behind this name and Aryan and his team will present it later before you.” As per the official plotline, the show is said to be an “unabashed, entertaining ride through the adventures of a charming, ambitious outsider navigating the glitzy yet tricky world of Bollywood.”

In an earlier chat with Raj Shamani on his YouTube channel, Karan Johar also paised Aryan’s show and said, “I don’t know if I’m even supposed to say this, but I have huge belief in Aryan Khan’s directorial talent. I don’t want to say anything about his Netflix show, because he’ll get very angry, but all I’ll say is this: watch out. If there is a King, there will be a Prince. I can say this with confidence, because I’ve seen the show. He has an individualistic voice as a director. He’s not anything like you’d expect Shah Rukh Khan’s son to be. He’s his own person. He works quietly, he doesn’t carry the baggage of his father, he doesn’t carry the weight of his legacy. He works hard; he works 20 hours a day. He is a rare personality type.”

In the same chat at the Waves Summit 2025, Ted shared, “Since 2021 through 2024, after Covid when things went back to normal, we have invested in India in a way that has created $2 billion of economic impact from our productions, 20,000 cast and crew jobs from our productions in India. With what people are watching around the world… Last year, about 3 billion hours of Indian content on Netflix around the world. That’s 60 million hours a week. Last year, every week of last year, there was a title from India in the global top 10, that’s pretty great.”
