Shahrukh Khan's son Aryan Khan is in the spotlight these days for his debut show 'The Bads of Bollywood'. A few days back, the trailer of the show came out, in which the starcast of the show was announced. Numerous actors are going to be featured in the show. Actor Manoj Pahwa is also part of Aryan Khan's show. Now, Manoj Pahwa spoke about Aryan's work. He states that Aryan is basically walking along the footsteps of his father. He has also narrated his experience working in the show.

In a conversation with The Print, Manoj Pahwa praised Aryan Khan and said that Aryan is following in his father's footsteps. He is passionate about his work and works as hard as Shahrukh. He understood the pressure on him considering his father's legacy. I am happy that Aryan did not take it lightly. He has worked very hard for this project. He is committed to his work. He loves his work. Manoj Pahwa believes that Aryan has all the qualities of a good director.

The actor told about his experience of working with Aryan that when I first met Aryan and heard about the character and the story, the experience was far beyond my expectations. This was his first project. He is a young boy. I did not expect that he would write the story in such a perfect way. Working with Aryan on the set was a new experience. He did not hesitate to take retakes again and again to get every shot absolutely perfect. He is new to direction, but is not easily satisfied. He is a perfectionist. Although, taking repeated takes was sometimes a bit frustrating, but the result made it worth it.

Written and directed by Aryan Khan, 'The Bads of Bollywood' will stream on Netflix from September 18. In the show, Manoj Pahwa is playing the role of the hero's uncle, who is an aspiring actor who has not found success in Bollywood. This series is a proper Bollywood masala type, in which action, romance and drama will be seen. The show will have a huge star cast, in which Lakshya, Raghav Juyal, Anya Singh, Manish Chaudhary, Mona Singh, Manoj Pahwa, Gautami Kapoor and Vijayant Kohli will be seen in lead roles. Apart from this, cameos of many stars including Salman Khan, Karan Johar and Ranveer Singh will also be seen in the show. At the same time, there are talks of Shahrukh Khan also doing a cameo in the series.
