Aryan Khan made his debut as a creator, writer, and director with Netflix’s The Ba***ds of Bollywood that premiered on the streaming platform on Thursday. While the satirical action-comedy series has created massive buzz for its ensemble cast and quirky storyline, Aryan’s behind-the-scenes persona is now grabbing attention, thanks to some light-hearted revelations from his cast members.
EXCLUSIVE: Aryan Khan has a ‘smiling phobia’, reveal Bobby Deol, Raghav Juyal and Lakshya while praising his directorial debut
In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama, Lakshya, Bobby Deol, and Raghav Juyal opened up about working with Shah Rukh Khan’s son and shared anecdotes that show a different, more personal side of the debutant director. Praising Aryan’s creative instincts, Bobby Deol recalled being taken aback by his vision, “He is something else. When he was showing us how to do the scenes, even I felt he was so mature. He understood every age group’s emotions. He would enact each part and show it—it was amazing. Honestly, I kept thinking he should be in front of the camera because he could play every character so well.”
The actor went on to confess that Aryan’s on-screen potential left him impressed when the teaser dropped, “I told him, when the first teaser came out, I thought to myself—he should have been in the show as an actor. It’s amazing.”
Meanwhile, Raghav Juyal brought a playful twist to the conversation, revealing Aryan’s unusual quirk. “He has a smiling phobia. He will not smile in front of the camera. But generally, with us boys, we make faces and laugh. Aryan has this childlike energy.” Jumping in at the description, Bobby affectionately added, “He is a child.” The comment left the cast in splits but Raghav recovered continuing, “Whenever I try to make him laugh on camera, he refuses. He’s like, ‘Bro, don’t do that.’ So far, I haven’t succeeded.” Responding to it, Lakshya joked, “Even if you do make him laugh, those photos are never getting out.”
Amid the banter, one thing stood out clearly – Aryan Khan has managed to impress seasoned actors not only with his directorial finesse but also with his ability to balance professionalism with warmth.
Produced under Gauri Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment, The Ba***ds of Bollywood stars Lakshya, Sahher Bambba, Bobby Deol, Raghav Juyal, Anya Singh, Mona Singh, Gautami Kapoor, Manoj Pahwa, and Arshad Warsi, with several starry cameos. The Netflix series premieres on September 18, promising to deliver a mix of satire, action, and Bollywood drama like never before.
