Shah Rukh Khan has revealed that Aryan Khan was initially hesitant to direct The Ba**ads of Bollywood and had even thought about hiring a director.
Aryan Khan made a successful debut with The Ba**ads of Bollywood, a web series that satirized the entertainment industry. Apart from being the writer and producer of the show, Aryan also directed all the episodes, which was highly praised. Although Aryan was initially apprehensive about turning director for the series, the filmmaker’s father Shah Rukh Khan has now revealed.
Aryan was hesitant to direct The Ba**ds of Bollywood
Shahrukh, who turned 60 on Sunday, met his fans in Mumbai in the evening and wished them. At a special event, the actor interacted with over 300 of his die-hard fans. During the conversation, a fan asked Shahrukh how he advises Aryan now that he also works in a similar manner as him. Shahrukh previously clarified that he only gives advice to Aryan or daughter Suhana (also an actor) only when they ask, and never unsolicited.
He later spoke about the only advice he was given before the making of The Ba**ads of Bollywood. Shahrukh said, “He didn’t know whether he could direct or not, and whether he should hire another director.”
Shahrukh said that Salah, with the support of his core team, encouraged Aryan to direct the show himself. The actor said, “When you give creative people that kind of freedom, they do a better job than telling them what to do.”
