EXCLUSIVE: Shashwat Sachdev calls The Ba***ds Of Bollywood’s ‘Ghafoor’ “one of the most fascinating experiences” of his career; opens up on meeting Shah Rukh Khan: “What stood out to me most was not his success, but his WARMTH”

Shashwat Sachdev has become a household name and one of the country’s biggest musical sensations thanks to his stupendous work in Dhurandhar (2025) and Dhurandhar The Revenge (2026). Just before the release of Dhurandhar, Shashwat Sachdev released another banger album – The Ba***ds Of Bollywood. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Shashwat Sachdev opened up about the popular Netflix series and working with Aryan Khan.

The song ‘Ghafoor’, featuring Tamannaah Bhatia, from The Ba***ds Of Bollywood became a rage. When asked how he looks back at it, Shashwat Sachdev said, “It remains one of the most fascinating experiences of my career. What stayed with me was not the virality itself but the way audiences embraced it and made it their own. As creators, we can spend months shaping something, but the moment it reaches people, it begins a new life that no longer belongs entirely to us. Watching that happen with ‘Ghafoor’ was incredibly rewarding. It reminded me that sometimes the most unexpected cultural moments come from simply having fun and being honest.”

Shashwat Sachdev then praised its director, Aryan Khan, “Working with Aryan was genuinely special. He possesses a level of self-awareness and preparation that is uncommon for someone so early in his journey. He understands storytelling, understands cinema and most importantly, understands collaboration. As a composer, one of the greatest gifts a director can give you is trust. Aryan gave me the freedom to interpret, experiment and contribute creatively, which made the process extremely rewarding.”

Did he get time to meet Aryan Khan’s superstar father, Shah Rukh Khan? Shashwat replied, “I had the opportunity to spend time with Shah Rukh sir on multiple occasions. What stood out to me most was not his success, but his warmth. He is remarkably affectionate, generous and attentive to people. Those qualities often leave a deeper impression than achievements.”
