28 Yrs Later, Aditya Chopra Records First On-Camera Interview For ‘The Romantics’

MUMBAI, (IANS) – The head of Yash Raj Films, Aditya Chopra, known for staying away from the cameras and media interactions, has recorded his first on-camera interview for ‘The Romantics’, a Netflix global docu-series.

The last time Aditya gave an interview was for a print magazine in 1995. As superstar Hrithik Roshan says in the trailer, Aditya Chopra is regarded as the brain who shaped “the contours of the industry” and hearing him share insights about YRF is a huge highlight for the film fraternity, cinephiles, and Hindi cinema audience at large.

The four-part docu-series by Netflix celebrates legendary filmmaker Yash Chopra, YRF’s legacy, and its impact on Indian pop culture for the last 50 years. It stars 35 personalities, including the mega-stars who have worked closely with YRF over the years.

They will collectively dive into the history of Hindi cinema through the lens of YRF’s impact in making the industry and its leading stars a household name globally through its path-breaking and generation-defining films.

The trailer of ‘The Romantics’ also revealed a stark fact wherein several iconic cinematic names hate the word ‘Bollywood’ which has been casually used for decades to describe the Hindi film industry. Bollywood, a portmanteau of Bombay and Hollywood was originally coined by the West to describe Hindi cinema. Over time Bollywood has grown to become a popular term today.

The docu-series, through the words of the mega-stars on Hindi cinema, will address the identity of Hindi film industry in the West and how these celebrities feel the term ‘Bollywood’ is not inclusive to other film industries of India and, thus, they despise it.

‘The Romantics’ will release on February 14, 2023, as a tribute to Yash Chopra, who is regarded as the ‘Father of Romance’ in India because of his iconic romantic films like Silsila, Lamhe, Kabhi Kabhie, Veer-Zaara, Dil to Pagal Hai, Chandni, Jab Tak Hai Jaan, etc.
