Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan recently made his acting and directorial debut with an ad film. And he has directed none other than his dad Shah Rukh himself.
The commercial was for D’yavol.X, a luxury streetwear brand promoted by Aryan.
The teaser initially shows an irritated and frustrated Aryan scribbling and painting something on a board. He throws away the paintbrush and leaves the frame and then enters SRK, who picks up the brush, and finishes the unfinished painting, the letter X, the logo of D’yavol.X.
Towards the end, SRK's face appears for a split second. The teaser was originally shared by Aryan on Monday. Sharing it on Instagram, he had written, "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVW_YZ X will be here in 24 hours...Follow @dyavol.x for exclusive content."
Shah Rukh’s daughter Suhana reacted to Aryan’s post it with heart emoticons while Gauri Khan shared it on her Instagram Stories.
The first bunch of D’yavol.X collection will be dropping on April 30. Apart from this ad film, Aryan is also directing a web series, which will be out later this year.
A few months ago, Aryan, 25, announced on Instagram that he has completed writing his first project which will also mark his directorial debut.
In 2019, on My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman, Shah Rukh told the eponymous host that Aryan doesn't want to be an actor. He said that though Aryan is a 'good writer,' he doesn't have what it takes to be an actor. "He (Aryan) doesn't have what it takes to be an actor and he realises that too but he's a good writer... I think wanting to be an actor has to come from within. Something you really need to do and find a set of skills that helps you do it and learn it. But I think I realised it from him when he said that to me," Shah Rukh had said.
The fans are going berserk seeing Aryan, who is a splitting image of his father.
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan has just begun a new schedule of his upcoming film, Dunki, in Kashmir’s Sonmarg while Suhana is gearing up for her film debut.
She will be seen as one of the lead actors in Zoya Akhtar's film The Archies. It is set in the 1960s and also marks the debut of producer Boney Kapoor's daughter Khushi Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan's grandson Agastya Nanda.
The Archies is a coming-of-age story that will introduce the teenagers of Riverdale to a new generation in India. The film will exclusively stream on Netflix.
