Bollywood star Kangana Ranaut responded to Netflix’s announcement that Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan would make his directorial debut with a series. Shanaya Kapoor, Suhana Khan, Ananya Panday, and Alia Bhatt all applauded Aryan Khan. Each of them posted a note on their own Instagram Story.
Kangana Ranaut shared an Instagram story for the same. She wrote, “It’s great that children from film families are going beyond just wanting to wear makeup, lose weight, doll up, and think they are actors. We should collectively uplift the standards of Indian cinema; that is the need of the hour. And those who have resources often end up taking the easiest roads. We need more people behind the cameras; good that Aryan Khan is taking road less travelled. Look forward to his debut as a writer and filmmaker.”
The untitled series, which is produced by Gauri Khan under the Red Chillies Entertainment brand, is set against the backdrop of the film industry, which Shah Rukh Khan defined as “all heart, all hustle.” Known as a multi-genre production, the official synopsis of the series describes it as an “unabashed, entertaining ride through the adventures of a charming, ambitious outsider navigating the glitzy yet tricky world of Bollywood.”
The streamer continued, “It combines a high-stakes plot with self-aware humour, with big-budget cameos and fantastical characters for an unforgettable, humourous take on Indian cinema.” It will release on Netflix in 2025.
