Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has officially announced the title of his elder son Aryan Khan's much-anticipated directorial debut. At Netflix’s exclusive Next on Netflix event, SRK revealed that the show, produced under his banner Red Chillies Entertainment, will be called The B*ds of Bollywood**.

Shah Rukh Had Pitched Aryan to Netflix

During the event, Shah Rukh shared an interesting backstory about Aryan’s journey into filmmaking. He revealed how he had initially planned for Aryan to work at Netflix before the pandemic altered those plans.

“He did his learning ki kaise kare (on how to do) direction and production USC (University of Southern California), America mein (in America). Bahut ajeeb sa coincidence hai. Covid nahi hota toh maine baat ki thi Ted se aur Bela se ki isko Netflix mein naukri de dein, wo assist kare kisi ko. But Covid ho gaya toh wo yahan par aa gaya (It's a very strange coincidence. If it wasn't for Covid, I'd talked to Ted and Bela to give him a job at Netflix so that he can assist someone there. But Covid happened so he came back to India), and then he started writing,” SRK shared.
