Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan has made a spectacular directorial debut with his Netflix series The Ba**ds Of Bollywood. Within just four days of release, the show gained 2.8 million views and secured the 4th position in Netflix’s Global Top 10 list, according to Tudum’s report. This massive success has put Aryan’s project in the spotlight, especially for the fees charged by its star-studded cast.
Aryan Khan’s Earnings
As the creator-director of the series, Aryan Khan reportedly earned around ₹10-12 crore from his very first project, proving that OTT platforms are turning into big-budget entertainment hubs.

Bollywood Cameos Add Extra Star Power
One of the biggest highlights of the show is its surprise cameos. Bollywood giants like Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Karan Johar, Ranveer Singh, S.S. Rajamouli, Sara Ali Khan, Disha Patani, and Emraan Hashmi appeared in short but memorable roles. Interestingly, many of these stars reportedly did not charge a fee, offering their cameos as gestures of goodwill and friendship.
Why the Fees Are Creating Buzz

With global giants like Netflix investing heavily in Indian content, both established stars and fresh faces are commanding higher paychecks. This shift reflects how India’s digital entertainment industry is matching international standards in storytelling and production value.
