Entertainment Live: The arrest of Aryan Khan has affected Shah Rukh Khan's projects like Pathan and Atlee's film tentatively titled Lion, reports BollywoodLife.com. Aryan Khan is now lodged in Mumbai's Arthur Road Jail with Arbaaz Seth Merchant and Munmun Dhamecha. His bail plea will be heard on October 20, 2021.

It seems Shah Rukh Khan will decide his further course of action after the verdict comes out. The superstar was busy shooting for two films when this news broke. His body double Prashant Walde had been shooting for Atlee's film in Mumbai.

Shah Rukh Khan was supposed to head to Spain for the shoot of two songs in beautiful locales like Mallorca, Cadiz, and Vejer de la Frontera. Deepika Padukone and he were supposed to go together.

The delay in the shoot of Pathan has also affected Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif's Tiger. Both the actors are doing cameos in each other's movies. A source told News18, "Salman is closely following up on Aryan’s case. The actor has visited Shah Rukh on multiple occasions and is concerned about Aryan’s well-being.

He is constantly by Shah Rukh’s side. Salman is also busy over the weekends shooting for Bigg Boss 15." It seems the superstar could not attend the rehearsals of Tiger 3 held at YRF last week. Katrina Kaif has been practicing for her hand combat sequences in the meantime.

Salman Khan paid a visit to Shah Rukh Khan and their wife Gauri the day after Aryan Khan was detained by the NCB. His sister Alvira Agnihotri also came to meet the family.

The day his bail was denied, the superstar got a visit from Karan Johar and top legal expert Rustam N Mulla. Others like Maheep Kapoor, Neelam Kothari, Seema Khan, and Preity Zinta have also visited Gauri Khan in this period.

The only evidence that the NCB claims to have against Aryan Khan is Whatsapp chats. They are claiming that he was a regular consumer and indulged in bulk procurement. They also said that he is in touch with an international syndicate.

Shah Rukh’s son Aryan counseled in NCB custody:

Bollywood Superstar Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan Khan has been counseled in NCB custody and he has promised Zonal Director Sameer Wankhede that he will make him proud.

According to India Today, "Aryan Khan promised Sameer Wankhede, zonal director of NCB's Mumbai unit, that he would help people from weaker sections of society. NCB sources said that Aryan Khan promised to be a good man after getting out of jail during the counseling. Aryan Khan and the others arrested in the case by the NCB were counseled by NGO workers and NCB officials including Sameer Wankhede."

He was arrested in connection to drugs seized on a cruise by the Narcotics Control Bureau earlier this month. Seven others were arrested including Munmun Dhamecha, Arbaaz Merchant, Ismeet Singh, Mohak Jaswal, Gomit Chopra, Nupur Satija, and Vikrant Chhokar. As per reports, a total of 20 people have been arrested.

Meanwhile, Aryan Khan will continue to remain in jail at least till October 20. The superstar's son's bail hearing was held at the special NDPS court on October 13 and 14. Aryan and the other accused were arrested on October 3.

NCB had seized 13 grams of cocaine, 5 grams of MD (mephedrone), 21 grams of charas (small quantity), 22 pills of MDMA (ecstasy) (intermediate quantity), and Rs 1,33,000 at International Cruise Terminal, Mumbai, Bollywood Hungama.

However, they had said in the court that no drugs were found on Aryan Khan but they discovered a small number of contrabands on the co-accused.
