Aryan Khan set to direct his first web series, proud dad SRK says, 'No business like showbusiness'

Shah Rukh Khan's son is all set to make his debut in Bollywood. But unlike other star kids who mostly opt for an acting debut, Aryan Khan is all set to direct his first web series for Netflix. The series will be backed by SRK's production house Red Chillies Entertainment and Aryan's mom, Gauri Khan. The OTT platform took to social media on Tuesday (Nov 19) to announce the new untitled project which is set to release in 2025. 

Soon after the news was announced by Netflix, proud father Shah Rukh Khan took to X to wish his eldest son the best for his new project and wrote, "It’s a special day when a new story is being presented for the audience. Today is even more special as @RedChilliesEnt  and Aryan Khan embark on their journey to showcase their new series on  @NetflixIndia. Here’s to untamed storytelling….controlled chaos…gutsy scenes and lots and lots of fun and emotions. Go forth and entertain people Aryan and remember, There’s No business like Show business!!" 

The news of this partnership and the mega project was first announced in Los Angeles this week at an event — hosted by Bela Bajaria, chief content officer, Netflix — showcasing some of the most ambitious international titles coming to the service next year.

About Aryan Khan's new show 

Set against the backdrop of the film industry, this multi-genre project promises an unabashed, entertaining ride through the adventures of a charming, ambitious outsider navigating the glitzy yet tricky world of Bollywood. The series blends a high-stakes narrative with self-aware humour, featuring blockbuster cameos and larger-than-life characters for an unforgettable, tongue-in-cheek take on Indian cinema.  

This will be Netflix and Red Chillies Entertainment’s sixth outing together, following the hit dark comedy film Darlings, crime-drama Bhakshak, the cop-drama film Class of ’83, the zombie horror series Betaal, and the spy thriller series Bard of Blood. 

Aryan is Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan's eldest child. The couple also share a daughter Suhana Khan (who made her acting debut in The Archies last year) and a son Abram Khan.
