When Shah Rukh Khan promotes something, the internet pays attention. This time, he promoted a fiery music video called Ghafoor, featuring Tamannaah Bhatia and directed by Farah Khan. Fans expected a big show. However, the king of Bollywood’s post had a twist. Ghafoor released as a promo for the new Netflix series The Bads of Bollywood, but viewers noticed the song didn’t appear in the actual show.
Shah Rukh Khan release the ‘Ghafoor’ Promotional Video
This led to confusion, tweets, and fan theories. Was it cut? Was it an error? Was Netflix hiding something? It turns out that none of these were true. Red Chillies Entertainment clarified that Ghafoor always meant to be a standalone promotional video. It designed to generate excitement and set the stage before the show’s launch. Think of it as an appetizer, not part of the main meal. The seven-episode series skips the full Ghafoor number, though its vibe and essence remain in the show’s visuals.
But the song still made an impact. With Shashwat Sachdev’s electrifying music, Ghafoor presents Tamannaah Bhatia in a dazzling way—bold, tough, and unforgettable.
Directed by Farah Khan, promoted through SRK’s Son Aryan Khan
Farah Khan’s direction brings back her signature style of sparkle and sass, reminding fans of her best music videos. It’s cinematic, stylish, and sets the mood—exactly what Aryan Khan’s Netflix debut needed to spark interest.
The show itself, The Bads of Bollywood, marks Shah Rukh Khan’s first work as a writer-director. It dives into the chaotic, power-hungry world behind the silver screen. Featuring Bobby Deol, Lakshya, Raghav Juyal, Sahher Bambba, and others, the series mixes ambition, betrayal, and the emotional highs and lows of achieving success in Bollywood, with Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan producing, and Netflix providing a global platform, Aryan’s off to a strong start.
So, while Ghafoor didn’t make it into the actual story, it still served its purpose—turning heads, catching attention, and setting the tone for a bold new voice in Indian storytelling.
