By Amit Kumar

Netflix is set to launch Aryan Khan’s directorial debut series, The Bads of Bollywood, on September 18, 2025. Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment Pvt. Ltd, the series is created by Aryan Khan along with co-creators and writers Bilal Siddiqi and Manav Chauhan. The preview of Netflix’s The Bads of Bollywood showcases a stylised yet chaotic world, laced with
self-aware humor and a tongue-in-cheek tone. According to the creators, the series is an underdog
story that explores how far one is willing to go to achieve their dreams, what sacrifices they’re
prepared to make.
At the launch event, Shah Rukh Khan introduced the cast, which includes Bobby Deol, Lakshya,
Sahher Bambba, Manoj Pahwa, Mona Singh, Manish Chaudhari, Raghav Juyal, Anya Singh, Vijayant
Kohli, Rajat Bedi, and Gautami Kapoor. These actors shared their experiences working on the series
and provided insights into their characters in this frank, no-filter narrative.
Aryan spoke about creating a story inspired by real emotions and human ambition, saying, “With The
Ba***ds of Bollywood, I wanted to build a world that feels alive, a mix of glitz and grit, where
ambition shines, egos clash, and nothing is ever as it seems. In Netflix, we found a partner who
shared our creative vision—helping us tell the story exactly how it needed to be told, raw, stylised,
and something the world has never experienced before.”
This project marks the sixth joint venture between Netflix and Red Chillies Entertainment, following
previous titles such as Bard of Blood, Darlings, Bhakshak, Betaal, and Class of ‘83.
The series’ music is released through T-Series, with compositions by Shashwat Sachdev. Additionally,
guest composers Anirudh Ravichander and Ujwal Gupta contribute to the soundtrack.
