Aryan Khan is unstoppable, as his debut directorial series The Ba***ds of Bollywood, which released on Netflix in 2025, has successfully claimed the number one position on IMDb’s annual ranking of the most popular Indian series of 2025, adding yet another milestone to his achievements. The Ba***ds of Bollywood became one of the most loved OTT shows in 2025 because of its gripping story, that gave a glimpse of the chaos, and drama that goes on behind the world of Bollywood. It won over viewers instantly, became one of the most talked-about releases worldwide, and created ripples across the internet.

Aryan shared, "Seeing The Ba***ds of Bollywood as the most popular web series on IMDb feels exactly like what we wanted to do — shake the room and own the conversation, to make something that defines an entire genre in the modern era; a pop cultural phenomenon. I wanted this show to be a celebration of the madness, the magic, the mischief and the raw ambition that fuels this industry. No soft edges, no pretending- we told the story the way it deserved to be told, and audiences across the world showed up for it in a massive way."

"The memes, the fan edits, the arguments, the obsession — that’s a show becoming part of culture, not just a weekend watch. I am grateful to everyone who clicked play, stayed with it, and made it explode the way it has. The joy this has brought the audience is why I do what I do- bringing stories that are straight from the heart. And this is just the beginning," he further added.

The Ba***ds of Bollywood follows the journey of Aasmaan Singh (played by Lakshya), an ambitious outsider navigating the ruthless maze of stardom, glitz, and power struggles in Bollywood. Blending sharp satire with gripping drama, the show boldly peels back the curtain on the lesser-known truths of the film industry. The show features surprising cameos by icons like Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Karan Johar and many more, adding an extra dose of star appeal to the series.
