Aryan Khan has hit it out of the park with his directorial debut The Ba***ds of Bollywood, a series that brims with digs at the industry. As Sameer Wankhede files a defamation suit over one of the scenes, Aryan revealed that while his Netflix series is fictional, it does include moments inspired by real experiences.
While speaking to Variety, Khan said, “We wanted to be self-deprecating, but not disrespectful anywhere. I think we maintained that line correctly. The guardrails were self-imposed because, when you’re part of the industry and making something about it, there’s a lot of respect. Taking a joke on yourself is the first and most important thing in comedy. People were extremely sporting, and we made sure never to push boundaries – only to laugh at ourselves.”
