Aamir Khan currently has no definite movie in pipeline, a rarity that has fans debating the staying power of a star whose value hinges on releases [1]. Once he promised two films a year, but projects like a collaboration with Lokesh Kanagraj and a Rajkumar Hirani-led biopic are on hold, and pre-production on Mahabharat isn’t moving forward, raising questions of a 2026 release [1].
On the other side, Aryan Khan is in a different frame. In a deep dive with Variety about his journey on Bads of Bollywood, he explains how he negotiates tone, guardrails, and self-awareness while shaping a show that blends genres without tipping into spoof [2]. He covers craft details from VFX to lighting, and the balance between self-deprecation and respect for the industry [2]. He also notes that production pushback on certain scenes happened, and he stood his ground to preserve his vision [2].
