Mumbai, Aug 16: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan gave fans a glimpse into his relationship with son Aryan Khan during a fun #AskMeAnything session on X (formerly Twitter), admitting with typical wit that Aryan keeps him out of the loop—especially when it comes to his highly anticipated directorial debut.

The conversation turned lively when a fan asked SRK for updates on Aryan’s upcoming series “Ba**ds of Bollywood”*. Shah Rukh responded with a playful nudge at Netflix:

“So many people asking so have to tell Netflix… Beta show bana raha hai, Baap sirf wait kar raha hai… @NetflixIndia Tum kya kar rahe ho??!!”

(Translation: "The son is making the show, the father is just waiting. Netflix, what are you doing?")

Netflix quickly joined the banter, replying:

“Bete ka teaser post karne se pehle baap se permission chahiye thi.”

(“Should’ve taken the father’s permission before releasing the teaser.”)

They then revealed that the first look of the series will be unveiled tomorrow.

Clearly excited yet unaware of the timeline, SRK responded:

“Yes yes yes. Please tell me the time also as Aryan doesn’t tell me anything. Aapke saath toh purana rishta hai…so please tell me and everyone else. Too excited. Here’s to a great First Look. Thanks.”

When asked about his favourite films and shows this year, SRK cheekily said:

“Seen a bit of Ba**ds of Bollywood*. That was very endearing and funny.”

Another fan asked if Aryan would follow in his father's footsteps as an actor. Shah Rukh was quick to clarify with his signature humour:

“Give him love as a Director in Ba**ds of Bollywood* when you watch it. Abhi ghar mein competition nahi chahiye…”
(“We don’t need competition at home just yet…”)

Though details about the show remain under wraps, Ba**ds of Bollywood* has already sparked massive interest. The project marks Aryan Khan’s official debut as a director, and early buzz suggests it might be a satirical take on the industry.

Adding to the excitement, veteran actor Anil Kapoor praised Aryan’s talent, drawing a big comparison:

“Aryan you remind me of a young Manmohan Desai... Congratulations to you, to @iamsrk and the entire family for such a kickass debut.”

He also shared a promo of the series, calling it a “sure-shot blockbuster” with Aryan “in the Dyavol director’s chair” — a nod to Aryan’s luxury brand, Dyavol X.

With industry veterans hyping it up and King Khan himself waiting in anticipation, Aryan Khan’s Ba**ds of Bollywood* is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about debuts in recent memory.
