Netflix India 2025 Slate: From 'Dining With The Kapoors' To Shah Rukh Khan-Backed 'The Ba***ds of Bollywood'

It's a packed slate for Netflix as the streamer announced their lineup for 2025 at a gala event on Monday, which started with Saif Ali Khan making his first appearance since surviving an attack last month, and ended with a bang as superstar Shah Rukh Khan turned up on stage to promote his son Aryan Khan's directorial debut.

The streamer will see the release of tentpole projects like Aryan’s Bollywood-themed series The Ba***ds of Bollywood (The Bads of Bollywood), and Siddharth Anand’s high-stakes drama Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins, starring Saif Ali Khan, Jaideep Ahlawat, Kunal Kapoor and Nikita Dutta.

YRF's series Akka will see actors Keerthy Suresh, Radhika Apte and Tanvi Azmi in what is billed as a gripping tale of sisterhood, "driven by chaos, violence, and the fight for survival." While star kids Ibrahim Ali Khan and Khushi Kapoor will be seen in the young Dharma romance Nadaaniyan.
