After giving us a hint of what to expect from Aryan Khan's directorial debut, Netflix India has finally released the full-length trailer of The Ba***ds of Bollywood, a web series featuring Bobby Deol, Lakshya, Raghav Juyal and other big stars from Hindi cinema making special appearances.
The many shades of Bollywood...Are you ready to witness them?

Unlike the teaser, the trailer gives us a look at Shah Rukh Khan, aside from the promise of a wild rollercoaster ride. His appearance is appropriately funny, as befitting a star of his stature. Aryan had earlier promised a no-holds-barred fictional narrative spun around the Hindi film industry.
A production of the SRK family's home banner Red Chillies Entertainment, the series is co-created by Bilal Siddiqi and Manav Chauhan. The streamer announced that it will globally premiere on Sept. 18.
Shah Rukh Khan had, in a grand event held by Netflix India in February to present its massive 2025 slate, clarified 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 had earlier 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.
