Fans awaited the documentary series that generated so much buzz for days. Yes, The Romantics, which has been praised as "a wonderful tribute to YRF," is the topic at hand.

The first episode of the series featured scenes of celebrities having fun and getting ready for interviews.

Let's start with a gist of what the series includes:

The four-part documentary series features the tales and viewpoints of 35 celebrities who have been closely associated with YRF and the entertainment business for many years.

They respond to inquiries about the term "Bollywood" and other topics. You will be able to watch snippets from previous interviews and films throughout. The final interview with Rishi Kapoor and the very first video interview with Aditya Chopra are also included.

The Romantics

Industry insiders describe Yash Raj's aura and how he toiled hard to establish his own banner at the start of the series. He was an intelligent man who was determined to build his own fame, according to certain film journalists, Yash Chopra's wife Pam, and other celebrities like SRK, Amitabh Bachchan, and others. He has worked for his older brother in the past.

As his wife recalled, he came over one day and told her that he wanted to leave his elder brother's house, and this is how YRF's journey started!

Aditya Chopra's interview has proven to be one of the most anticipated parts of the series. Before the interview was released, some people were even suggesting that the man never existed!

Shah Rukh Khan also discussed the time he worked on the 1993 film Darr, which was directed by Aditya Chopra's father Yash Chopra and starred him in a negative character. He had anticipated working in an action movie with Aditya Chopra. Even better, Aditya had shared with him an action concept that SRK had adored. As a result, Shah Rukh Khan was astounded when Aditya Chopra told him the story of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.

The Romantics

In the interview, Aditya recalled how a woman in her 80s came to SRK and said, ¡®Beta, tu bahut accha hai. Itna accha kaam karta hai. Par tu har film mein marta hai aur har film mein khoon hota hai. Mujhe accha nahin lagta¡¯¡±

He added, ¡°15 minutes later, I walked upto Shah Rukh and told him, ¡®I feel you are hesitant to say no. You might choose not to do this which is completely fine. But I would just advise you not to shut your doors on never doing a love story. Because in this country, a superstar will only be that person who will be every mother's son, every sister's brother and every college girl's fantasy¡¯.¡±

The Romantics

While speaking his heart about filmmaking and how he wanted to stand out, Aditya said that he wanted to ¡®elevate the entire industry¡¯

Another bit that has been catching everyone¡¯s eye is Rishi Kapoor¡¯s interview, according to the late actor, ¡°After sex, cinema is the only best form of entertainment in the world. For Indians at least."

Following the release of The Romantics, which provides a glimpse into Yash Chopra's and his life, Shah Rukh Khan's extraordinary relationship with the illustrious director drew the attention of online users. The Pathaan actor is currently dominating the internet with an old clip from the docuseries that shows him sprinting to hug the legendary filmmaker.
