Bobby Deol said that director Aryan Khan demanded too many retakes in the show.

It was a star-studded event at The Ba***ds of Bollywood preview in Mumbai. The show was hosted by Shah Rukh Khan, father of Aryan Khan, who is debuting as a director for the Netflix show The Ba***ds of Bollywood.

Before introducing Aryan Khan on stage, the emcee of the event and proud dad, Shah Rukh Khan, introduced the entire cast of the show, including his old friend Bobby Deol. The event held at YRF Studios, Mumbai, saw Bobby first praising Aryan as the director. He said, “It’s very difficult to get your emotions what you write on paper for each character, and the way Aryan has done that is just amazing. Everybody, from mature characters to younger characters, he’s just brought out the best in everyone.” But later, the actor also complained about Aryan to SRK jokingly. He said, “Woh alag baat hai usne bahut nichoda humein. Bahut mehnat karvayi humse. Main bas dekhta rehta hai. Bolta tha one more, I’d say koi baat nahin beta one more. Shuru me to laga kuch kam one more karvayega, lekin uske one more band hi nahin hue (It’s another matter that he spent all of us, made us work really hard. I used to watch him ask for one more take, and I’d say no issue, son, we will do it. Initially, I thought he’d relent, but his one more did not end).”

Shah Rukh Khan revealed Bobby called him during the shoot.

Shah Rukh Khan chimed in after Bobby jokingly complained about Aryan as the director. He said, “Main ek baat bataun ek baar raat ko bhi phone kiya mujhe, ‘aa jaa yaar bahut takes le raha hai ye, ab mujhko jaana hai’ (Once Bobby called me at night asking me to come because he was asking for too many takes. He had to go somewhere).”
