In recent years, Bollywood has brought a variety of inspiring personalities to the silver screen, from athletes to industrialists. While films have been made on the lives of notable figures like Dhirubhai Ambani, Ratan Tata’s extraordinary journey has yet to be depicted. The recent passing of this iconic Indian industrialist has sparked fresh interest in a biopic about him. But is one actually in the works?
According to Indian news outlet News18, significant progress has been made on a biographical film centered around Ratan Tata. Filmmaker Sudha Kongara, who is known for her national award-winning work, is set to bring the former Tata Group chairman’s story to life. While shooting was initially scheduled to begin in late 2023, the project faced delays for various reasons. Sudha considers it a privilege to make a film about someone of Tata’s stature, stating that it will reveal lesser-known aspects of his life, inspiring many.
As for the casting, who will portray Ratan Tata? Names from both Bollywood and South Indian cinema have been circulating, with Abhishek Bachchan and Suriya being strong contenders. Rumors also suggest that R. Madhavan might step into the role. Previously, Akshay Kumar was linked to the project, but he has since denied the rumors.
Sudha Kongara, who made her directorial debut with the Telugu film “Andhra Andagadu,” gained fame for her blockbuster film “Soorarai Pottru.” Now, with a project that aims to celebrate the life and legacy of Ratan Tata, anticipation is building, though we await an official announcement on the cast and release date.
Stay tuned as this story develops, as fans eagerly await a film that promises to shine a light on the incredible life of Ratan Tata.
