Aryan Khan's directorial debut shines bright

First things first.

Thanks to Shah Rukh Khan for having clarified the title's pronunciation as 'Bads' of Bollywood at the trailer launch itself. This seven part series starring Lakshya, Sahher Bammba, Raghav Juyal and others is nothing less than an acid test for Aryan Khan's directorial capabilities in Bollywood. What remains to be seen is that, will he prove to be the proverbial 'son-shine' of his illustrious father Shah Rukh Khan! Let's find out...

The first two episodes see the storyline being set against the big bad glitzy glam world of films. It is here we find the debutant hero Aasman Singh (Lakshya) who 'doubles' up as a body double for himself. This stunt of his paves the way to 'arrive' in Bollywood with his debut film 'Revolver', that's being directed by Freddy Sodahwalah (Manish Prakash Chaudhary).

Aasmaan soon starts following the customary tradition of Bollywood by attending the film's party and networking with the who's who of Bollywood who come there as guests. It is here, Bollywood actor Ranveer Singh (in a cameo) chooses to duck Freddy's film to do a film with the filmmaker 'SS Rajamauli Sir' (cameo).
