The trailer launch of Ba***ds of Bollywood, Aryan Khan’s much-anticipated directorial debut, was filled with buzzworthy moments, but it was veteran actor Manish Chaudhari who truly set the stage ablaze with his magnetic screen presence and razor-sharp delivery.
Celebrating three decades in the industry, Manish has carved his niche with powerful performances in films like Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year, Jannat 2, Sanam Teri Kasam, and Sky Force, along with unforgettable roles in acclaimed web series including Aarya, Kohrra, and Bombay Begums. At the event, he once again reminded everyone why he is hailed as one of the most reliable and commanding actors of his generation.
The evening’s most electrifying moment came when Manish dropped a dialogue that instantly grabbed everyone’s attention: “Agar izzat se rahoge to star bana dunga, warna zero bana dunga.” Delivered with his signature authority, the line drew thunderous applause and cheers from the audience, proving his unmatched ability to dominate both reel and real life moments.
Just when the atmosphere was thick with intensity, Shah Rukh Khan, known for his lightning wit, stepped in and turned it into pure comedy gold. With perfect timing, SRK quipped: “Producer to producer… Sir, jo banana hai bana lijiye, ullu bana lijiye, gadha bana lijiye, mamu bana lijiye. Lekin Bhagwan ke liye, mere jaise zero mat bana lijiye.”
His cheeky response referencing his own Zero fiasco had the hall echoing with laughter. The playful banter between Manish and SRK became the defining highlight of the night, showcasing not only SRK’s humor but also Manish’s screen-commanding aura that has shaped his 30-year-long career.
With Bads of Bollywood following closely on the heels of his impactful role in Kingdom, Manish Chaudhari continues to raise the bar with characters that carry weight and leave a mark. His rare ability to blend gravitas with charisma ensures that every project he touches becomes memorable.
As anticipation builds for Aryan Khan’s debut project, one thing is certain, Manish Chaudhari’s towering presence is set to be one of its most compelling strengths.
