Rajiv Rai on Aryan Khan using Gupt song in The Ba***ds Of Bollywood
Rajiv Rai, in an interview with Hindustan Times, confessed that he is very happy for Shah Rukh Khan’s son, Aryan Khan, after the humongous success of The Ba***ds Of Bollywood.
Rajiv Rai said, “The credit for the song’s success this time does not belong to me, to be honest; it belongs to Aryan. Because he took the song and he used it for his series, and it has worked brilliantly. Honestly, I am just very elated that I contributed to making something that helps make his career.”

Rajiv Rai also confessed that he usually doesn’t allow his music to be repurposed, but just because of Shah Rukh Khan, he allowed it to be done. He said, “I generally don’t give my music away. It’s not that I am not selective, but I don’t like to seem overused. Here, I didn’t blink an eyelid. SRK (Shah Rukh Khan) has been gracious to me. When he asked me, I was like, 'Whatever you want.' So happy it worked out for them.”
The filmmaker concluded the statement by saying, “It’s wonderful to see something created years ago find such relevance today. Sometimes all it takes is the right moment and the right storyteller to bring it back.”
