Shah Rukh Khan pays surprise visit as son Aryan Khan begins shooting for his directorial project

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan and interior designer Gauri Khan's son Aryan Khan has started a new path as a director, continuing in the hallowed footsteps of his superstar dad. Filming for his first project, a six-part web series that Shah Rukh Khan is producing, started on Friday.

The series, which has the working title of "Stardom," has already created a lot of excitement in the business. In December 2022, Aryan revealed that the script was finished, and now the filming has begun.

The team started filming the series at a mill in Worli, where they got some shots of offices. Aryan made an impressive first impression by showing up on set well ahead of the 7 am call time, demonstrating his passion and commitment to his directorial debut. The day's biggest surprise, though, was when Shah Rukh Khan himself showed up on the set to wish his son well. This action emphasised their relationship as well as the actor's pleasure in his son's achievements.

The show will have a young, talented cast as well as some well-known performers, including Gautami Kapoor (Ram Kapoor's wife), who is well-known for her work on television shows like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi and Qubool Hai. Ranveer Singh and Shah Rukh Khan will also appear in Aryan's debut show. 

A source revealed to Peepingmoon, “SRK and Ranveer will be seen in different episodes, playing roles that are small but important in taking the story forward. It’s a special part, and both are excited to shoot for it under the direction of Jr. Khan.”

On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan recently gave blockbuster Pathaan, which broke a lot of records at the box office. His two most awaited films are Rajkumar Hirani's Dunki and Atlee's Jawan.
