Debutant director Aryan Khan actually wanted these dialogues and sequences to be SRK and Salman codedAryan Khan Gave Lakshya Lalwani THIS Brief For The Ba***ds Of BollywoodIn a recent interview, Lakshya revealed that the two superstars served as the inspiration behind his character, Aasman Singh. He shared that Aryan had asked him to watch their old interviews as homework."My reference point for the character was Shah Rukh sir, and all the 'boys' from the 90s: Sanjay Dutt, Salman Khan. Their vibe and the aura was different," the Kill actor told Hindustan Times."When I spoke
to Aryan, he told me to watch how Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan used to talk. All these guys were not rude or arrogant but themselves. I watched so many interviews of Shah Rukh sir, including the one where he said, 'I am not here to compete, I am here to rule.' That takes a lot of self belief to say that. You can't learn that, but are born with it. I think all of us have that somewhere, but society is such that if I say all that, people will say you are arrogant."About The Ba***ds Of BollywoodIn the Netflix show, Lakshya stars as Asmaan Singh, a newcomer who wants to be the biggest superstar in Bollywood but gets entangled in contracts and chaos.
