The Roshans Trailer Launch: Hrithik Roshan, Rakesh Roshan, Rajesh Roshan Pose Together

The highly anticipated trailer for Netflix’s four-part docu-series, ‘The Roshans’, was released on Thursday, which was attended by Rajesh Roshan, Rakesh Roshan, and Hrithik Roshan.

Set to be launched on Netflix on January 17, "The Roshans" will take viewers on an intimate journey through their lives, exploring three generations of contributions to Hindi cinema.

At the heart of the documentary is the late Roshan Lal Nagrath, better known as Roshan, and then follows his descendants - Rakesh Roshan, Rajesh Roshan and Hrithik Roshan - who have each uniquely shaped the landscape of Indian entertainment as directors, creators, musicians and actors.

Hrithik, who made his debut as a leading man with his father Rakesh Roshan's movie "Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai" 25 years ago, said the Netflix series chronicles the stories and struggles of his family.

"When my father said that he wanted to make this documentary, I first felt embarrassed. I don't like attention. Then I realised, 'No, this is not about me. It's not about me at all.' This is about history. And history is important. It is the history of my ancestors, my parents, my grandfather, my uncle."

"That history was in my cells and gave me a drive... Their stories inspired me so much that I was unstoppable. It was nothing else but that," Hrithik told reporters at the trailer launch event.

Hrithik said he hopes that the documentary will inspire others, particularly students of cinema and people worldwide.

Rakesh Roshan, who started out as an actor in films such as "Khubsoorat", "Kaamchor", "Aakhir Kyon?" and "Khatta Meetha", and then directed blockbuster films such as "Khoon Bhari Maang", "Karan Arjun" and "Krish" series, said the documentary will showcase the contribution of three generations of his family.
