Manish Chaudhary defends Ba***ds Of Bollywood director Aryan Khan’s filmmaking style: ‘There’s nothing unsual…’

When asked how it felt to be directed by debutant Aryan Khan after spending over 30 years in the industry, the actor shared, “It feels great to work with debutants. The new-age directors are coming to the fore. A lot of directors, I have worked in the last 4-5 years, have been in their mid-20s or mid-30s. Time has changed, stories have changed, so has the way of telling stories. The new generation brings in fresh ideas. I am glad that this generation is interested in casting me. It’s important to be relevant as an actor across as many generations as possible.”

At the launch of The Ba***ds Of Bollywood, Bobby Deol jokingly mentioned that Aryan Khan asked for many retakes. When asked if he had a similar experience, Manish Chaudhari said, “I mean, there’s a process of shooting a series or a film. Retakes are a part of the process. There’s nothing unusual about it. Everybody does it. So did Aryan as a director.”

The actor was also asked if he auditioned for Aryan’s show, and he replied, “They approached me. I read a scene or two with him. If someone wants to read with me how I would sound in a particular role before casting me, I won’t have a problem with that. Actually, the body of work is very strong now. So, nobody really asks me for an audition now. I am lucky that way. My work has made an impact, it has resonated with the directors or producers where they directly cast me in the characters they want me to do.”

The Ba***ds Of Bollywood is produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and co-created by Bilal Siddiqi and Manav Chauhan, who shares writing credits with Aryan Khan. The show has a stellar ensemble cast, including Lakshya, Sahher Bambba, Bobby Deol, Raghav Juyal, Anya Singh, Mona Singh, Gautami Kapoor, Manoj Pahwa, Rajat Bedi, and Manish Chaudhari.
