Aryan Khan, who recently won acclaim for his Netflix directorial debut The Ba**ds of Bollywood*, is already setting his sights on bigger ventures. The series, featuring Lakshya, Raghav Juyal, Bobby Deol, and an ensemble cast, marked Aryan’s official entry into direction and highlighted his flair for bold storytelling. Now, with his streaming debut behind him, Aryan is preparing for a significant leap—a full-length theatrical film.
Industry insiders reveal that Aryan’s next project will be designed for the big screen. The young filmmaker is keen to establish himself firmly in the theatrical space before taking on what is expected to be the most high-profile collaboration of his career—directing his father, superstar Shah Rukh Khan.
A source quoted by Pinkvilla shared, “Aryan wants to deliver a theatrical hit and prove his mettle as a filmmaker before directing Shah Rukh Khan. He aims to build credibility based on his work, not just his family legacy.” The much-anticipated father-son project is already in the pipeline, though it’s not slated to start immediately. “If all goes well, Aryan’s third directorial will star SRK in the lead role. The duo has finalized the core concept, but the film is expected to take shape only by 2027,” the insider added. Currently, Aryan is focused on completing the script for his second feature film, which is expected to move into casting soon.
Details about the genre, cast, and production schedule are expected to be revealed in the coming months. With his debut stirring industry conversations and his upcoming films already creating buzz, Aryan Khan is navigating his journey with clear focus and strategy. As excitement builds for his theatrical debut and future collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan, all eyes remain on this promising young filmmaker.
