About The Ba***ds Of Bollywood

The series charts the journey of Aasmaan Singh (Lakshya), an ambitious outsider chasing dreams as towering as the silver screen itself. Backed by his best friend Parvaiz (Raghav Juyal), quick-witted manager Sanya (Anya Singh), and a loving family — uncle Avtar (Manoj Pahwa), mother Neeta Singh (Mona Singh), and father Rajat Singh (Vijayant Kohli) — Aasmaan takes his first steps into the dazzling yet ruthless world of Bollywood.

But he soon learns that stardom comes at a cost, where ambition often clashes with ego. His biggest trial arrives when he crosses paths with reigning superstar Ajay Talvar (Bobby Deol), after being cast opposite Ajay’s daughter and debutante Karishma (Sahher Bambba). Add to this the manipulative producer Freddy Sodawallah (Manish Chaudhari) and Jaraj Saxena (Rajat Bedi), a faded star desperate for a comeback.

The Netflix series had some high profile cameos featuring Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Aamir Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Karan Johar, SS Rajamouli, Ranveer Singh and others.
