Rumours are swirling in Bollywood that some of the industry’s biggest filmmakers are eager to launch Aryan Khan, son of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, as an actor.
Aryan, the eldest child of Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan, is already making headlines for his debut as a director, but according to a report by Mid-day, top directors like Aditya Chopra, Karan Johar, Farah Khan, and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra are showing interest in casting Aryan in his first big-screen acting role.
Bollywood’s Biggest Directors Eye Aryan Khan’s Acting Debut
Shah Rukh Khan’s close filmmaker friends—Aditya Chopra, Karan Johar, and Farah Khan—have reportedly expressed their desire to work with Aryan on his acting debut. Additionally, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has approached the Khan family with an “epic subject” that could potentially serve as Aryan’s first feature film.
Despite the interest, Aryan is currently focused on his directorial debut, a web series titled Stardom, which explores the lives and struggles of Bollywood stars. The young star kid has always leaned towards filmmaking, something his father Shah Rukh Khan has openly discussed. However, reports suggest that after the release of Stardom, Aryan may consider acting opportunities and will discuss the possibility with his father.
Aryan Khan’s Directorial Debut: Stardom
Aryan Khan’s web series Stardom is generating a lot of buzz in the industry. The series, which offers a peek into the world of Bollywood, is set to explore the behind-the-scenes struggles and lives of film stars. Cinematographer Jay Oza, who is part of the project, revealed in an interview that Aryan’s series will feature elements of comedy and entertainment. According to Oza, Aryan prefers a bright and lively approach, contrasting with darker tones seen in films like Raman Raghav 2.0.
The series will also feature actress Mona Singh in a pivotal role. Reports suggest that the series will showcase Singh in a completely new avatar, adding another layer of intrigue to the much-awaited show.
Will Aryan Khan Follow in Shah Rukh Khan’s Footsteps?
Many who have met Aryan believe he has the potential to follow in his father’s legendary footsteps. With Shah Rukh Khan’s backing and the interest of some of Bollywood’s top directors, Aryan could easily transition into acting. However, insiders note that Aryan’s passion lies in filmmaking, and he is currently dedicating all his energy to making Stardom a success.
Shah Rukh Khan himself had mentioned in earlier interviews that Aryan was more interested in directing than acting. However, with filmmakers like Aditya Chopra, Karan Johar, and Farah Khan offering to helm his debut film, it remains to be seen if Aryan will eventually step in front of the camera.
What’s Next for Aryan Khan?
After completing his web series, Aryan is expected to sit down with his superstar father to discuss his potential acting career. If Aryan decides to pursue acting, it’s likely that his debut will be a big-ticket movie, given the level of interest from prominent Bollywood directors.
Fans and industry insiders alike are eagerly waiting to see if Aryan Khan will choose to follow his father’s path as an actor or continue carving out his own legacy behind the camera.
Conclusion
As Aryan Khan gears up for the release of his directorial debut Stardom, Bollywood’s biggest filmmakers are keen on launching him as an actor. With offers from industry heavyweights like Aditya Chopra, Karan Johar, Farah Khan, and Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra, the question remains: Will Aryan Khan become the next big Bollywood star?
