In recent years, Bollywood has produced various biopics on influential figures, including a film on industrialist Dhirubhai Ambani. However, a biopic on Ratan Tata has not yet been brought to the screen. Following Ratan Tata's passing, there has been increased speculation about a potential biopic on his life. According to News18, significant progress has been made in the production of an autobiographical film about this renowned industrialist. The film is being directed by Sudha Kongara, who believes that Ratan Tata's life story could be a source of inspiration for many.
Initially, the plan was to start shooting the film by the end of 2023, but it has been delayed for various reasons. The script is currently under development, and the project aims to reveal lesser-known aspects of Ratan Tata's life.
As for the casting, there are rumors that several Bollywood and South Indian actors are being considered for the role of Ratan Tata. Names like Abhishek Bachchan and South Indian star Suriya have come up in discussions. Additionally, there is speculation about R. Madhavan playing the role, though no official confirmation has been made yet. Earlier, there were rumors about Akshay Kumar taking on the role, but he denied these reports.
Sudha Kongara, the director, is known for her work in Indian cinema and has won a National Award. She made her directorial debut with the Telugu film *Andhra Andagadu* and is acclaimed for her hit film *Soorarai Pottru*.
