MUMBAI: Aryan Khan marked his much-awaited debut in the film industry this year. But unlike his legendary father, Aryan chose a different path, stepping behind the camera as a director to showcase his filmmaking vision and passion. After creating immense anticipation, his debut web series The Ba***ds of Bollywood released in September on Netflix. The series brilliantly highlighted Aryan’s sharp storytelling, impactful characters, and a perfect blend of drama and humour.
His dedication, creativity, and hard work have now borne fruit. Aryan Khan has achieved a remarkable milestone by becoming the youngest director and the only web-series director to feature in IMDb’s Top 10 Directors of 2025 list for The B***ds of Bollywood. Securing such a feat with his very first project is nothing short of extraordinary and marks the beginning of a promising journey for this emerging filmmaker.
The Ba***ds of Bollywood achieved some of the biggest milestones upon its release. The series dominated Netflix India, trending at No. 1 for weeks, and its success wasn’t limited to the country. It also made a strong global impact, trending worldwide, reaching the No. 1 spot in several countries, and breaking into Netflix’s Global Top 10 for non-English shows. Adding to its massive buzz, the series’ motion poster lit up the iconic Times Square billboard in New York, marking a proud moment for Aryan and the entire team. Aryan Khan’s debut not only captured attention but created a roaring impact, proving his potential as a young filmmaker with global appeal.
