What Dr Nene said about the show

Taking to his X account, Dr Nene reposted a video of him and Madhuri posing for photographs at the event. In the caption, he wrote, “Had an amazing time at the premiere of Netflix’s Aryan Khan directorial debut, the “Ba***ds of Bollywood.” The scripting, casting, mounting and production values were top-notch. But the funniest part was no stone was left unturned in the irreverence, poking humour and observations at all aspects of the Bollywood equation."

‘The feat is coming out of the shadows of his father…’

He added, "Some will say that the nepotism equation comes full circle. But Aryan actually learned the hard way, studying his craft at USC in one of the world’s finest film schools. The feat is coming out of the shadows of his father, Shah Rukh Khan, which I think Aryan is doing admirably with this debut. Can’t wait to see the rest of the series. Let me know what you think.”

The Ba***ds of Bollywood features Lakshya and Sahher Bambba in the lead roles, alongside Bobby Deol, Manoj Pahwa, Mona Singh, Rajat Bedi, Gautami Kapoor, and Manish Chaudhari in pivotal roles. The show also features cameos by Bollywood biggies such as Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Karan Johar, Kareena Kapoor, and Ranveer Singh among others.
