Ever since Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan's son Aryan announced his directorial debut with a web series, fans have been waiting for the show to premiere on an OTT platform. In the latest Bollywood celebrity news, Aryan Khan has opened up about his upcoming project titled 'Stardom'. In a recent interview, Aryan Khan discussed the challenges of balancing his role as a director with this collaboration with father Shah Rukh Khan on the second collection of his luxury streetwear brand, D'vyavol X. 

For the unversed, SRK is the face of the brand. During an interview with GQ, Aryan Khan talked about his father SRK and said, "It’s always a pleasure and a learning experience. People talk about his work ethic, but experiencing it first-hand was really exciting. He has a wealth of knowledge, which makes my job easier."

Speaking further about SRK's role in his brand, Aryan Khan said, "Some things that would take me some time to wrap my head around were seamless for him. Our brand is edgy, so he’s around to keep some semblance of sanity and respectability, otherwise, there could be too much madness." 

"Because we are an age-agnostic brand, I think we have an interesting balance: I have a more contemporary way of thinking; my father brings a dose of maturity into it. Having perspectives from both ends allows the brand to align with our collective vision as well, which is to appeal and cater to everyone, from a 10-year-old to a 70-year-old," he added.

Aryan Khan then spoke further about his directorial debut. "They’re both creatively stimulating in different ways. As the creative director of the brand, I shoot the ads, as well as oversee the photoshoots. I’m very involved creatively, but not as much when it comes to the logistics. On the other hand, as a director I have to look into every detail, every shot and every angle.”

While 'Stardom' is Aryan Khan's official directorial venture, he had previously directed an advertisement featuring SRK for his fashion brand. 

The six-episode 'Stardom' has been penned by Aryan Khan. The show will delve into the film industry's dynamics, and it is backed by Shah Rukh Khan’s production house, Red Chillies Entertainment.

As per several reports, the series will feature cameos by SRK, Ranbir Kapoor, Bobby Deol and Ranveer Singh.
