The first look of Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan’s much-awaited show The Ba**ds of Bollywood is finally here, and fans can’t keep calm. While fans are excited for the series, which is written and directed by Aryan, they have also taken to social media to point out how eerily similar Aryan sounds to his father Shah Rukh.

In the video, instead of staying behind the scenes, Aryan makes an appearance in front of the camera and introduces his show with the line, “Picture toh saalon se baki hai, par show ab shuru hoga.” Aryan’s cameo in the teaser shows him delivering Shah Rukh’s famous dialogue from Mohabbatein, but of course, the star kid added his own twist. After the teaser was released, fans took to social media to point out how Aryan looks like a “Xerox copy of SRK,” with his voice, mannerisms, looks, and even his acting and dialogue delivery resembling Shah Rukh’s very closely.

That’s it.” One more comment read, “Dude how is he the Xerox Copy of SRK???? Never understood the hype until now but Aryan Khan is actually really hot 🔥” Another fan pointed out, “The way he smiled is exactly how Shah Rukh smiles.”
