In a grand event held by Netflix India to present its massive 2025 slate, superstar Shah Rukh Khan launched son Aryan Khan's directorial debut The Ba***ds of Bollywood, a series which the latter also created. A production of the family's home banner Red Chillies Entertainment, it is co-created by Bilal Siddiqi and Manav Chauhan.

Speaking to audiences, Shah Rukh said the title is pronounced as 'The Bads of Bollywood' and that Aryan and his team put a lot of effort into it.

"Hard work pays off only when the viewers are entertained. And now it has become a part of the family, so it is our duty to entertain audiences. It is a kind of a 'family' show as Netflix is also like a family to me... I hope this family get-together entertains India," he added.

As per the official logline provided by Netflix, the series is a fictional narrative — a high-stakes drama in which "an ambitious outsider and his friends navigate the chaotic, larger-than-life, yet uncertain world of Bollywood."

Netflix released a witty promo featuring Shah Rukh, with an appearance by Aryan sitting behind the camera and engaging in meta jokes with his dad. It is revealed that Aryan will be serving only as the writer, director, and co-creator of the series and not as an actor.

Shah Rukh hinted that the "biggest, baddest, bravest, whackiest, funniest, cheekiest, maddest and filmiest show on earth" revolves around people who come to Mumbai to pursue their dreams.

"It's very funny. It's just not the good, not just the ugly, not just the worst, it's not the best... It's the bads of Bollywood here," he said.
