In the eagerly awaited Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar, Ranbir Kapoor returns to the big screen as the ideal romantic hero. He claims that Raj from the movie Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (DDLJ), which he has seen at least 20 times, is the one who first gave him the idea to portray endearing lover boys on film.
Ranbir said in a statement that Raj was fantastic! He could do anything and Aditya Chopra, in his opinion, offered them an aspirational character; he was cunning, and endearing, and it kind of shook one up! The actor has seen that movie in theatres about 20 times. With cult romance movies like Bachna Ae Haseeno, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Rockstar, and Tamaasha, to name a few, Ranbir has captured the nation's heart.
DDLJ is still showing in Mumbai's Maratha Mandir, making it the longest-running movie in Indian cinema history.
Ranbir's heartfelt commentary on YRF and Hindi cinema's impact on people's lives may be found in the universally praised Netflix documentary series The Romantics. The film pays homage to Yash Chopra, YRF, and their cultural contributions to India and Indians over the past 50 years. The Romantics became the top trending title on Netflix within 48 hours of its release, a remarkable achievement for a documentary, demonstrating the overwhelming support that Yash Chopra and YRF have received from the nation.
The megastars and legends of Hindi film have gathered to discuss Yash Chopra and YRF's contribution to Indian cinema in The Romantics, including Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, Ranveer Singh, Rani Mukerji, Hrithik Roshan, Katrina Kaif, and Anushka Sharma.
Smriti Mundhra, an Oscar and Emmy-nominated director who previously worked on Netflix's Indian Matchmaking and the Never Have I Ever series, is back with The Romantics.
35 prominent film industry figures who have intimately collaborated with YRF throughout the course of its 50-year illustrious history will also be featured in this four-part docuseries on Netflix.
