Aryan Khan, the eldest son of Shah Rukh Khan, is all set to take the next big step in his filmmaking journey. After making an impressive debut as a director with his OTT project The Ba***ds of Bollywood, Aryan is now gearing up for his first big-screen directorial. The untitled project is expected to go on floors in 2026. 

Aryan Khan Gears Up For Big-Screen Debut

While details about the story and cast are still under wraps, reports confirm that Shah Rukh Khan will not be playing the lead. Aryan is said to be crafting a unique cinematic experience that will stand out from mainstream Bollywood storytelling.

According to a report by Pinkvilla, Aryan is determined to establish his own identity as a filmmaker before directing his superstar father. He wants to “earn” that opportunity through hard work and merit, rather than legacy. If things go as planned, Aryan and Shah Rukh Khan will collaborate on his third directorial, which could take shape around 2027. 

The father-son duo has reportedly locked the basic concept, but Aryan is currently busy finalizing the script for his second feature, which will soon move into the casting phase. Aryan’s first project, The Ba***ds of Bollywood, premiered on Netflix on September 18, 2025.
