Mudassar Khan Reveals Aryan Khan Called SRK ‘Sir, Not Dad’ On Set: ‘I Was Stunned’
Choreographer Mudassar Khan revealed Aryan Khan's respectful demeanor towards his father, Shah Rukh Khan, on the set of "The Bads of Bollywood."
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s eldest son, Aryan Khan, recently made headlines with his much-talked-about directorial debut, The Bads of Bollywood. The show not only impressed audiences with its sharp writing and star-studded cameos but also earned praise for Aryan’s professionalism and maturity behind the camera.
Now, choreographer Mudassar Khan, who worked on the songs in the series, has shared an interesting behind-the-scenes anecdote that perfectly captures Aryan’s respectful equation with his father.
Aryan Khan Calls SRK “Sir” on Set
In a recent podcast with Hindi Rush, Mudassar recalled a memorable interaction between Aryan and Shah Rukh on the sets of The Ba**ds of Bollywood.
He said,“Our process was such that I had made a reference video for how the song would look, and then Aryan and I showed it to Shah Rukh sir in his vanity van. That moment was a great learning experience for me. Shah Rukh sir was on a phone call when we entered. Aryan waited patiently until he finished, then addressed him as ‘Sir’ and said, ‘Sir, we have made something for the song — would you like to see it?’ He immediately said, ‘Yes, yes,’ and we showed him what we had done.”
Mudassar further added that Shah Rukh appreciated their effort, saying, “Very good,” and even placed his hand on Mudassar’s head before leaving. He continued, “We had another pre-visualisation video to show him. I asked Aryan if we should play it, and he said, ‘Sir, if you have time, can we show you one more video?’ I was stunned because if I were in his place, I would’ve said, ‘Daddy, see what I’ve done!’”
