Bollywood owes itself its share of star kids and the latest inclusion to this list that has been creating a lot of buzz is Aryan Khan. Being the firstborn son of the king of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan, Aryan’s existence has been in the public domain for years, and understandably so, for fans crave to know if SRK’s son will be the next superstar in the making. In the most recent releases, there are indications that many prominent directors are enthusiastic about giving Aryan his first role, and interested in being the first to bring him to the silver screen.
The Star Kid Phenomenon
Aryan Khan has been in the realm of public affection since the moment when he stepped into the spotlight as the son of stars and up to the recent episodes of his performance on social networks. It has been seen that while many other child stars have been into fame, glamour, and styling, Aryan has kept himself low-key, Tom, Dick, and Harry, more bookish and away from the usual Bollywood trappings. But the curiosity about his first time stepping in front of the cameras for a film acting gig has remained very much alive.
Aryan is the son of the Indian film legend Shah Rukh Khan and like his father, he has incompatible credentials to make it big in Bollywood. This background together with the lack of information about him has placed Aryan as one of the most highly anticipated debuts in the business. The rumors have only multiplied as Aryan has grown older with every time he goes out in public or posts something on any social media platform being eyed to have a glimpse of his potential career.
Offers Galore
According to insiders in Khan’s family, Aryan has been getting many offers from top stars in the industry. Such offers include action-filled blockbusters the romantic dramas and the filmmakers are anxious to cash in on the expected publicity that would accompany the debut of the hero.
A Cautious Approach
Notably, Aryan is doing the opposite: unlike many other star kids who plunge into acting as soon as they are out of their diapers, he is taking it slow. He has in the past said that he wants to be a filmmaker more than an actor, mainly getting involved in the process. Aryan Patel also has taken film classes at the University of Southern California, which also leads people to believe that he might prefer directing/producing.
The Industry’s Expectations
People have started giving their opinions on what exactly Aryan’s first film could hold for Bollywood. Some people have opined that it could be the start of the era of star kids that rely not only on the family lineage but also on the potential they have to perform in the movies.
It is also believed that the filmmakers are not only fans of Aryan just because of his non-Indian origin but also because of the talent that has been seen in his works. Alongside the new view on the cinematic world, together with the help of one of Bollywood’s legends, Aryan’s first movie might become a real turning point.
What Lies Ahead
To this, there is no clear information, on whether, when, or how Aryan Khan plans to make his debut in Bollywood. Probably, it is for this reason that both Shah Rukh Khan and Aryan have not made any comment on the actual offers and the possible projects awaiting both of them. But seeing the kind of interest and buzz that he garners, it will not be long before he sets foot into the cinema.
Speculations and excitement getting the best of all Bollywood lovers and lovers of Shah Rukh Khan in particular. What about Aryan Khan will he go the acting way like his father or will he go behind the camera? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: This will apply to Aryan Khan whenever he makes his debut it will be one of the most discussed things in Bollywood.
