There are many truths about the lives of film stars that often do not come to light. These days, documentaries are doing a great job of bringing these secrets to light. On November 18, a documentary based on actress Nayanthara was released, after which a documentary on the Roshan family will be released.
Most stars in Indian cinema avoid making their biopics. They say that their lives do not have all the masala that is needed for films. However, documentary films are doing a great job of showing their lives closely. On November 18, on the birthday of South cinema superstar Nayanthara, who is addressed as Lady Superstar, the documentary ‘Nayanthara: Beyond the Fairytale’ was released.
After Nayanthara, the Roshan family is preparing to bring ‘The Roshans Documentary’ series. As the title suggests, the documentary series will show the life journey of late musician Roshan, his son-filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, son-composer Rajesh Roshan and actor Hrithik Roshan. Directed by Shashi Ranjan, this documentary will also include conversations with family members and their friends from the film fraternity like Shah Rukh Khan, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Sham Kaushal.
Along with the stars, documentaries are also being made on celebrities from the film world. A big name in this is the documentary ‘Angry Young Man’ which came recently. This docu-series is on the famous writer duo of Hindi cinema, Salim Khan-Javed Akhtar, who have given many timeless dialogues and films, in which many incidents have been mentioned from the initial struggle of this writer duo’s career, from pairing to separation.
This documentary was produced by Salim Khan’s son Salman Khan and Javed Akhtar’s son Farhan Akhtar and daughter Zoya Akhtar.
However, the trend of documentaries is not new. Last year, Yash Chopra’s production house made a documentary series ‘The Romantics’ on the ‘Father of Romance’ in Hindi cinema. A documentary has also been made on Hindi cinema’s King Khan Shah Rukh Khan.
