He especially mentioned Aryan’s name and said that for him, the ‘pressure is unbelievable’ as he is the son of superstar, Shah Rukh Khan. In his words:
“When I got a phone call from Red Chillies that we are making this show and Aryan Khan is directing it, I said, I am doing it. I know how difficult it is to be from the industry and make a debut. To be a super-duper star like Shah Rukh Khan’s son, the pressure is unbelievable.”
Bobby added that he just wanted to stay beside Aryan as he starts his journey as a director. He also shared that when Aryan wanted to narrate the script, he said ‘no’ to it. He was quoted as saying:

“In just that half an hour of speaking to him, I have seen him as a kid and all that, but I have never really interacted with him, but when I did, I found out, he is so sorted in many ways. The next thing, when I started working on the sets, I just felt so lucky.”
