All about the BTS video from The Ba***ds of Bollywood set
On Monday, Shah Rukh took to Instagram to post a BTS video from the set. It begins with his voice saying, “Bollywood is a dream city. But everyone can have this city.” The clip then shows Aryan wearing the camera holder, fully immersed in his work. He is seen enacting each scene and guiding actors precisely on what he wants.

The video also captures him directing his father, Shah Rukh, explaining how to approach specific moments.
Several stars have praised Aryan’s directorial approach. Arshad Warsi, who plays Gafoor, said, “He is one of the directors who cannot think small. He thinks big and shoots in detail.

He gets what he wants, and I think that I admire in a director.”
Gautami Kapoor shared, “He is so passionate that I told him, Aryan, one camera has to be on you all the time, rolling. Because when he’s explaining my character, he becomes Anu Talwar. When he’s explaining Bobby’s character, he becomes Ajay Talwar, and he’s so passionate about his job and work.”
