The Roshan family expressed their excitement in a joint statement: “We are thrilled to collaborate with Netflix to share untold stories that have shaped our lives. This platform allows us to connect with audiences worldwide and honor our family’s journey.”
Director Shashi Ranjan called the experience of creating the series “incredibly rewarding.” He added, “Being welcomed into the Roshan family’s world and trusted with their legacy is a privilege. Their story of creativity and resilience deserves to be shared on a global stage, and Netflix was the perfect partner for this vision.”

It uncovers the untold story of a family that has given us timeless melodies and unforgettable films. It is our honor to bring their legacy to audiences worldwide.”
