Ted Sarandos reviews The Ba***ds of Bollywood

The Ba***ds of Bollywood is said to be a dark comedy that takes an insider's trip through the "how's it made" of the Hindi film industry. The show is currently in production. Recently, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos spoke about the show while on Nikhil Kamath's WTF podcast.

“It (The Ba***ds of Bollywood) is very fun. I've watched the first two episodes so far. It's very funny. I think people in India and people outside of India know nothing about the inner workings of Bollywood. So it's a really fun world. He's (Aryan Khan) a very good director,” Ted said, while talking about the show.

The show was announced at the Next on Netflix event in Mumbai earlier this year. Shah Rukh Khan shot a promo for The Ba***ds of Bollywood and appeared at the event to launch the series, during which Shah Rukh mentioned that before Aryan could get out the door to start on the show, he nearly pitched him to Ted for a job at Netflix.

About The Ba***ds of Bollywood

“He did his learning ki kaise kare (on how to do) direction and production USC (University of Southern California), America mein (in America). Bahut ajeeb sa coincidence hai. Covid nahi hota toh maine baat ki thi Ted se aur Bela se ki isko Netflix mein naukri de dein, wo assist kare kisi ko. But Covid ho gaya toh wo yahan par aa gaya (It's a very strange coincidence. If it wasn't for Covid, I'd talked to Ted and Bela to give him a job at Netflix so that he can assist someone there. But Covid happened so he came back to India), and then he started writing,” Shah Rukh said, referring to Ted Sarandos, Netflix CEO, and Bela Bajaria, Netflix's Chief Content Officer.

According to reports, The Ba***ds of Bollywood is a humorous parody on the inner workings of the Hindi film industry. The show stars Lakshya and Sahher Bamba and will reportedly have some major cameos as well, with names like Salman Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Karan Johar, and Ranveer Singh being floated around. Bobby Deol and Mona Singh are also rumored to star in the show.

The Ba***ds of Bollywood will debut on Netflix later this year. No release date has been announced.
