Why Salman, Rekha missing

While Shah Rukh Khan gave one of the biggest hits of his career with Rakesh Roshan's Karan Arjun and came to speak about it in the documentary, many were curious with Salman Khan's absence. Rakesh Roshan reportedly told Bollywood Hungama that he did call up Salman several times but couldn't reach him. On the other hand, the makers of the documentary have revealed that due to date issues, neither Salman Khan nor Rekha could be a part of the series.

What celebs said

Celebs have had the most glorious things to say about Roshan family. "Each generation has contributed to not just the fabric of Indian cinema but to the success stories of Indian cinema. This is a legacy that will remain there for posterity," KJo said in the documentary. "It is actually what the elders have passed on to their younger generation. I think because of that, all three of them have that grain," SRK added.
