Bobby Deol on Netflix's 'The Ba***ds Of Bollywood' director Aryan Khan: 'I call him a child because...'

Aryan Khan’s ‘The Ba***ds Of Bollywood’ trailer is finally here and looks like a solid take on the glamourous and gritty world of films. It’s whacky, twisted, self-deprecating, stunning, silly (in good ways), dark, dazzling, and everything in between.

In an interview with India Today , actor Bobby Deol spoke about Aryan and said, “I have met him a few times when he was growing up. He has always been a very well-mannered kid. But I interacted with him recently even before the topic of him becoming a director came up. And I found something very special about him. Not once did I know that this boy would be calling me to work with him.”

He added, “I think he’s a child who is a man, but I call him a child because he’s like my son. And he has this special gift which he does not take for granted. He has used that gift to his best ability on our show. He has just really worked hard.”

What lies in the trailer

Manoj Pahwa brings the house down with his line on rapper Baadshah, Raghav Juyal displays his razor-sharp comic chops again. Disha Patani gets a cool cameo and so does Aamir Khan. But the clincher is a sensational appearance by Shah Rukh Khan and even his manager Pooja Dadlani.

What is the show about?

At its heart, the series follows Aasmaan Singh (  Lakshya ), an ambitious newcomer with dreams as big as the silver screen. With his loyal best friend Parvaiz (Raghav Juyal), sharp-tongued manager Sanya (Anya Singh), and his ever-supportive family by his side — his uncle Avtar (Manoj Pahwa), mother Neeta Singh (Mona Singh), and father Rajat Singh (Vijayant Kohli) — Aasmaan steps into the world of glitter and grit.

He is soon to find that dreams come at a price, especially when ambition and ego collide. Aasmaan finds himself up against his biggest challenge yet, superstar Ajay Talvar (Bobby Deol), when he is cast opposite his daughter, Bollywood newcomer Karishma (Sahher Bambba). Throw the shrewd producer Freddy Sodawallah (Manish Chaudhari) into the mix, along with Jaraj Saxena (Rajat Bedi), a yesteryear actor desperate for a comeback, and what follows is a sharp, self-aware saga, set against the irresistible spectacle of Hindi cinema.
