Aryan Khan made his directorial debut in 2025 with the Netflix show, The B***ds of Bollywood. The show was appreciated for its take on Hindi cinema, its performances and many star-studded cameos, including
those of Salman Khan and Aryan’s father, Shah Rukh Khan. In a recent chat with Filmfare, Aryan revealed that it was he who dubbed Salman’s scenes.
Aryan told Filmfare, “I dubbed the scene where Salman Khan says ‘bullshit party’. I also dubbed for some of the abuses that were said during the starting of the series. I can take out Salman Khan’s voice very well. I’ll show it to you all.”
Speaking of his own father, Aryan said, “He doesn’t forget anything. He is very easy to direct. It’s like a cheat code when you work with him. He already knows what needs to be done technically, so I don’t have to remind him of those things as a director. Mera kaam ho jaata hai (my work is easily done).”
He also said, “The camera person doesn’t hate me then for being a newcomer because my actor already knows everything.” As for taking guidance from his father, Aryan said, “I’ll be more than happy to be schooled by him. The only thing he keeps telling me is to shoot fewer takes.”
