Unlike his sister, actress Suhana Khan, Aryan Khan stepped into direction and came up with a seven-episode series titled The Ba***ds of Bollywood. The story revolves around a Bollywood actor, Aasmaan Singh (played by Lakshya Lalwani), who tries to navigate his way to the top while walking the risky and unpredictable lanes of B-town.
The show also features Bobby Deol, Raghav Juyal, Sahher Bambba, Anya Singh, Manoj Pahwa, Manish Chaudhari, Rajat Bedi, Meherzan Mazda, Divik Sharma, Mona Singh, Gautami Kapoor, Vijayant Kohli, Neville Bharucha, and Armaan Khera. Bankrolled by Aryan’s mother, Gauri Khan, under Red Chillies Entertainment, the multi-starrer show was released on Netflix in September 2025. It opened to positive reviews from fans and critics alike.
As for Farida Jalal, she will be next seen in Shahid Kapoor-starrer O’Romeo. The audience was stunned after watching a teaser of her rowdy character in Vishal Bhardwaj’s upcoming action-thriller. Co-starring Triptii Dimri, Nana Patekar, Avinash Tiwary, Vikrant Massey, Tamannaah Bhatia, and Disha Patani, the movie is scheduled to hit big screens on February 13, 2026.
