Why The Ba***ds of Bollywood has three asterisks? Bobby Deol, Lakshya, and Raghav Juyal reveal

The Ba***ds of Bollywood marks the debut directorial series of Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan. It will go deeper into the behind-the-scenes life of the glitzy world. As we see, the title of the series has three asterisks, so in a new interview, Bobby, Raghav, and Lakshya addressed the format of the title. 

Bobby Deol on The Ba***ds of Bollywood title format

Speaking with Radio Nasha, Bobby Deol explained that the concept of asterisks is related to the way the show is made. He said, “It is its concept, it is the way the show is written. When you watch the show, then when you look at the title, you will understand.”

The Animal actor further recalled how people reacted to his 1997 film Gupt and said, “I remember when I did the film Gupt, people did not understand the title of the film, but then Kajol turned out to be the murderer, so then they understood why we named it Gupt."

Lakshya and Raghav Juyal on The Ba***ds of Bollywood title

Lakshya revealed that the show didn’t even have a title for a long time. He shared that the type of show that it is, it’s very difficult to describe in one word. 

"When you see the show, then you will find the meaning of ‘Ba***ds’ because you cannot define the show in one word or one line, because it is a vast, unique world that Aryan has set. Just like its story, the title is also very unique, and it catches attention. People will remember it," he said.

Meanwhile, Raghav Juyal said that they had to fit ‘Bads’ with ‘Bollywood,’ and that’s why they have put an asterisk in it and it was for aesthetic reasons.
