The OTT platform has opened opportunities for actors and filmmakers and in my opinion there is not a single worthy artist who is any longer out of work. Different kinds of entertainment are being served on different channels and now that everyone is exhausted of watching sex/ scandal/ shame in their series, channels are re-thinking content. Netflix, who has been a leader in this game has done a makeover and launched a Docu-Series that will feature 35 personalities from show business who will trace the history of Hindi cinema through the lens of Yash Raj Films – its impact and interpretation.
For the first time, the reclusive head of YR Films, Aditya Chopra, has agreed to come on camera and discuss the banner.
The first part of the docudrama titled The Romantics will stream on February 14, 2023 as a tribute to the legendary filmmaker Yash Chopra, director of immortals like Silsila, Lamhe, Kabhi Kabhie, Veer-Zaara, Dil Toh Pagal Hai, Chandni, Jab Tak Hai Jaan. The series willcelebrate 50 years and the legacy of Yash Chopra!
The last time Aditya Chopra gave a print interview was in 1995 after the success of Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge. The docu-series is directed by Smriti Mundhra, who returns to Netflix after the phenomenal success of Indian Matchmaking and the Never Have I Ever franchises.
