Netflix will stream Red Chillies Entertainment’s as-yet-untitled Bollywood series in 2025. Produced by Gauri Khan, the series marks the debut of Shah Rukh Khan’s son, Aryan Khan, as a creator and director.
The news of the partnership and mega project was announced in Los Angeles recently at an event — hosted by Bela Bajaria, chief content officer, Netflix — showcasing some of the most ambitious international titles coming to the service next year.
Set against the backdrop of the film industry, this multi-genre project promises an unabashed, entertaining ride through the adventures of a charming, ambitious outsider navigating the glitzy yet tricky world of Bollywood. The series blends a high-stakes narrative with self-aware humour. It will feature cameos by industry tops and larger-than-life characters for a tongue-in-cheek take on Indian cinema.
This series marks Netflix and Red Chillies Entertainment’s sixth outing together. The earlier five were Darlings, Bhakshak, Class Of ’83, Betaal and Bard Of Blood.
Sharing his thoughts on the announcement, Shah Rukh Khan said, “We are excited to present this new series with Netlix, that offers a refreshing look into the glamorous cinematic world and what it takes to succeed as an outsider. It’s a unique narrative brought to life by Aryan, many passionate minds and the team at Red Chillies Entertainment.” Monika Shergill, vice president – content, Netflix India, added, “We are thrilled to partner with Red Chillies Entertainment once again — this time, for a very special series, directed by Aryan Khan, Aryan brings a bold and dynamic directorial vision, and has created something truly one-of-a-kind and thoroughly entertaining. It builds on our shared passion for fresh voices and quality storytelling, and we can’t wait for our members to watch it.”
