The preview of Netflix’s new show, ‘The Ba**ds Of Bollywood’, was recently launched in a grand event in Mumbai, which marks the writing and directorial debut of Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan. At the event, Bobby Deol revealed how Aryan made actors work very hard, while SRK recalled Bobby calling him and asking him to come to the set and let him go home.
“We have been working together for 30 years, and we usually aren’t this formal with each other. I never thought that this day would come when we would be working with our kids. I want to thank Bobby from the bottom of my heart, with all my love, for making this show with my son. You have brought so much warmth, love and gravitas to the show,” said SRK while welcoming Bobby on the set.

“It is quite a special day for me as well, because our kids want to join the same industry, and now Aryan has taken that step. I remember seeing him as a kid and the kind of person he became as he grew up. He has always been ready to conquer the world, and today is the day,” said Bobby.
“I am extremely lucky to be a part of this project. Woh alag baat hai ki boht nichodha hamein (he overworked us a lot). He used to ask me, ‘One more take?’ and I used to say, ‘Haan beta, ek aur take (Why not? Let’s do it). I initially thought that he was going to go easy on us, but he made us work very hard,” he added.
“Ek baar isne raat ko call karke bola, ki tu aja bhai yeh boht kaam karwa raha hai, mujhe jaana hai ab (He called me during the night one time and told me, ‘Please come to the set, he is making us work too much. I need to go now),” recalled SRK.

“I have seen him as a little boy, and then years later, when I heard him speak, there was something magical about him, as if he was ready to conquer the world,” said Bobby, praising Aryan.
The Animal star further lauded Aryan’s vision and said, “It’s not special because it’s Aryan’s or Shah Rukh bhai’s project, but because it truly is massive. Every actor has performed brilliantly, but it’s the director who brings out the soul of the story. Aryan pushed us, made us do many takes, but he brought out the best in everyone.”
The web-show features Bobby Deol, Lakshya, Sahher Bambba, Manoj Pahwa, Mona Singh, Manish Chaudhari, Raghav Juyal, Anya Singh and Vijayant Kohli with Rajat Bedi and Gautami Kapoor with cameos from Karan Johar, Salman Khan and Ranveer Singh.
