Aryan Khan is all set to make his directorial debut with The Ba***ds of Bollywood. A couple of days ago, the preview of the show was released, creating a huge buzz for Shah Rukh Khan’s son’s show. The preview clip ended with a scene of the hero Aasman Singh (Lakshya) going to jail, and the policeman telling him. “Don’t worry… people become more famous after being imprisoned.”

Netizens speculated that this was Aryan’s jibe at his wrongful arrest in 2021 in a drug case. Now, Manoj Pahwa, who plays an important role in the show, cleared the air about the same.

During an interview with The Print, he was asked whether the scene had any resemblance to real-life incidents. The actor said, “There is no relation between the scene and the incident.” He further added that the show is entirely fictional.

The veteran actor also praised Aryan and called him a spitting image of his father, SRK. He continued, “Aryan is following in his father’s footsteps. He is a hardcore professional, a workaholic, and he works very hard just like SRK. When I first met Aryan and heard about the character and storyline, the experience was far beyond what I had anticipated. It was his first project. He is a young lad. I didn’t expect the narrations would be pitch perfect. I was blown away in that first meeting itself.”

Pahwa also revealed that Aryan does not get satisfied easily and would take multiple retakes until he was happy. The actor called him a perfectionist.

Even Bobby Deol joked during the preview event that Aryan would demand too many retakes till the time he was satisfied with what they had done.
