For his directorial debut, Aryan Khan is said to be developing a web series that will offer a satirical take on Bollywood
Aryan Khan and Shah Rukh Khan
It looks like 2023 will mark a year of new beginnings for Shah Rukh Khan. Besides having three big releases in the coming year, the actor will have daughter Suhana and son Aryan follow in his footsteps into showbiz. While Suhana has already begun shooting for her debut, The Archies under the direction of Zoya Akhtar, Aryan is said to be developing a web series with the writers at Red Chillies Entertainment for his debut venture. Unlike his sister, he is keen on a career behind the camera, having graduated in Fine Arts, Cinematic Arts, Film and Television production from the School of Cinematic Arts, University of Southern California. Sources claim that the comedy drama will offer a satirical take on Bollywood, narrated by an upcoming actor and his friends. Being a son of one of the biggest superstars of the country, Aryan is familiar with the entertainment industry and is apparently adopting a tongue-in-cheek look at the highs and lows of stardom in his fiction show. The team plans to lock the script, which will be inspired by the lifestyle of actors and how they strive to balance their myriad relationships with their artistic fulfillment, by the year-end. They intend to close a deal with a streaming major and take it on floors by mid-2023.

Tattoo tales
It is common for fans to copy their favourite actor’s tattoos. However, Naga Chaitanya doesn’t want followers to copy his forearm tattoo. Reason being that it is actually a Morse code for the date he and Samantha tied the knot — October 6, 2017. When asked if he was planning to change the design now that they have parted ways, Chaitanya replied that he hasn’t thought about it. When further probed about what he’d do if he bumped into her, he reportedly replied, “Say hi, give her a hug.” And to think that on Koffee with Karan, Sam said that sharp objects had to be hidden away before she was put in a room with her ex-husband.
