Netflix India is giving audiences “an adventurous ride into the world of Indian cinema” with its newest series, “The Ba***ds Of Bollywood.”
Created and directed by Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan, under Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment, the series follows Aasmaan Singh (Lakshya), “an ambitious newcomer with dreams as big as the silver screen,” as he and his friends try to “navigate the larger-than-life yet uncertain world of Bollywood.”
As Aasmaan “steps into the world of glitter and grit,” he soon finds “that dreams come at a price, especially when ambition and ego collide,” says Netflix about the series, adding it explores the dual nature of the Indian film industry “where one world is shaped by the ease and familiarity of insiders, while the other is navigated with grit and resilience by those entering from the outside.”
“The series blends self-aware humor with a high-stakes narrative and promises a host of unforgettable cameos, blockbuster thrills, and an adventurous ride into the world of Indian cinema,” Netflix adds.
