Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s eldest son, Aryan Khan, is stepping into the film industry, but not as an actor. Aryan, who previously portrayed a young Shah Rukh in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001) and voiced Simba in the Hindi version of The Lion King, is now making his directorial debut. His first project, a web series titled The Bads of Bollywood, is set to release on Netflix.
The series, which marks Aryan’s directorial debut, is generating significant buzz. As part of the film’s promotional campaign, the makers have released initial glimpses of the project, and an official teaser is scheduled to be released on August 20. This has raised expectations around Aryan’s first venture as a director, and industry insiders are eager to see how he fares behind the camera.
In addition to his directorial aspirations, Aryan Khan has also ventured into the business world. In 2022, he founded Slab Ventures, under which he launched a luxury brand named Diavol. Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan’s younger son, AbRam Khan, is reportedly preparing for his own entry into the entertainment industry. Fans and industry observers will be watching closely to see how Aryan’s career unfolds.
