The show features an ensemble cast including Lakshya, Bobby Deol, Sahher Bambba, Raghav Juyal, Anya Singh, Manoj Pahwa, Mona Singh, Vijayant Kohli, Gautami Kapoor, and others.

The trailer, released recently, offers a sharp, satirical look at the glamorous yet cutthroat world of Bollywood, revealing the struggles of an outsider trying to make it in the industry.

With his filmmaking ambitions, entrepreneurial ventures, and academic training, Aryan Khan is staking out his own space in the industry. His net worth in 2025 is estimated at about ₹80 crore, bolstered by investments—including the co-founded luxury fashion & spirits brand D’Yavol—and real estate.
As he transitions from star-kid to creator, The Ba**ds of Bollywood* marks a major milestone for Aryan—a debut with style, substance, and lots of expectations.
