Aryan Khan’s maiden show as writer, begins casting, shoot to happen by year end – Exclusive – Times of India

ETimes was the first to tell you that Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan had chosen for a web series to be his maiden project as a writer. Now, we being you news that the casting for this series, penned by Aryan, has kick-started and prospective names could be locked in soon. A source close to the show revealed, “Multiple actors have been giving auditions for the web series and going by the rate at which the work has started, the show may go on the floor by the end of the year.”

That’s not all. ETimes has also learnt that the show is centred around the film industry. Writer Bilal Siddiqui, who also co-wrote the Netflix show Bard Of Blood, is working on the project with Aryan. Earlier this year, there were reports that Aryan had also organised a test shoot for the show at a studio in Mumbai. It is rumoured that actor Prit Kamani, who was recently seen in Jersey, might be part of this show.

In past interviews, SRK has revealed that Aryan’s passion lies in direction and writing, more than following in the footsteps of his father. SRK has been quoted saying, “He’s been writing, directing, and learning stuff for four years. It’s one of the highest levels of studies at the University of Southern California to become a filmmaker.”

It will be interesting to see how the young man bounces back from the much-publicised case that he was pulled in to. Fans will be curious to see what Aryan’s maiden project on OTT will turn out like.
