Bobby Deol, seen here with wife Tanya and son Aryaman, stars in the Netflix series, and is all praise for the debutant director.

"The conviction he (Aryan) has as a director, and the way he's obsessed with being a director, in a good way, is remarkable. I've never seen such mature experience in a director, and the way he's handled all the characters is impressive. He has created the entire show. Hats off to him!" Bobby said.

"August 20 ko, jis tarah se pure cast ko showcase karwa raha tha, show ko Shah Rukh ne itne pyaar se introduce kiya. It was a very special moment, and I can understand that feeling. I have kids, and they also want to enter this industry.

"It was special, and it reminded me of my father (Dharmendra) and brother (Sunny Deol). They didn't leave any stone unturned in making my first film. I think Shah Rukh is doing the same for Aryan. I think har baap apne bacche ke liye jaan bhi de sakta hai."

Lakshya plays the lead in the Netflix series, and says, "Raghav (Juyal) and I auditioned when we were shooting for Kill. I read the scene, which you see in the trailer, 'Taare to bahut hai, par aasmaan ek hai (there are a lot of stars but there's only one sky)'.

"When I read it, I felt a connection. I felt this was me. When I came to Mumbai, I had the same passion.

"Then I was told that this is Aryan Khan's debut. Shah Rukh sir is involved. That was a different level of excitement. I wanted to shout it out to everyone but until it materialised, until the contract was signed, I kept it inside me. I was scared of losing the project if I disclosed it before the right time," he added.

The actor praised Aryan's directorial skills, calling it a 'new style' of film-making.;

"I liked working with him because he had a new take on film-making," he said.

"Every actor has a weakness and a talent; he understood both and turned the weaknesses into talents. His upbringing is so good that he didn't look like a superstar. I told him that if I get a chance to shoot this season again, even if I don't get a chance, I'd love to work with him. I'm just a call away. If he calls me for anything, I'll be there," Lakshya said.

'Shine on son!!! Tonight is your big night... when your family, friends and the fraternity will welcome you to the movies with their arms wide out (your father made that a national gesture) ... you treaded a path that many never believed you would ... the daunting task of being behind the camera... of being a story teller and the captain of its execution... have seen you work tirelessly and passionately for over 2 years and never once taking the opportunity given to you for granted....

'You have an individual style of telling your story and I can't wait for everyone to see and hear your voice in #badsofbollywood.

'I am so so proud of you and love you so much!!! ( also thanks for giving me a part in the show, I was secretly dying for you to ask me ) .... Series toh ban gayi beta...Picture abhi baaki hai!!!!!' Karan wrote on Instagram.
