NEW DELHI, SEP 06 (ONLINE): Rumours are rife that some of Bollywood’s top filmmakers have sounded off Shah Rukh Khan about their eagerness to direct Aryan Khan’s debut film as actor.
Shah Rukh Khan’s son Aryan Khan is currently gearing up for his debut as a director. Amid buzz that he will discuss potential acting opportunities with his father after his show Stardom’s release, a Mid-day report has said that several top Bollywood directors and producers are said to be keen to make a big-ticket movie with the star kid, who is the eldest child of Shah Rukh and his interior designer-film producer wife, Gauri Khan.

Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s ‘epic’ project for Aryan
Per the report, those who have met Aryan Khan believe he has it in him to follow into Shah Rukh’s footsteps and ‘become the next big thing’. While Shah Rukh’s filmmaker friends Aditya Chopra, Karan Johar and Farah Khan have reportedly offered to direct Aryan’s debut film, the report added that director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has also ‘approached the Khans with an epic subject’.
However, the report said that Aryan ‘is focusing all his energy on his maiden directorial venture’. It is said that only when he is through with the web series, will he discuss with his superstar-dad whether he should explore acting. Insiders told the portal that Aryan ‘has always been inclined towards filmmaking’ — something that Shah Rukh had spoken about during the release of Zero (2018).
