One of the most influential people of the globe aka Ratan Tata’s story will soon be narrated on screen. Bhushan Kumar’s production house T-Series took to social media today to announce their foray into OTT with a plot based on business tycoon
Ratan Tata’s illustrious family. The series will cover the 200-year-old journey of the Tata family and how it was instrumental in building the nation. From the announcement post and caption, it has been reported that T-Series and Almighty Motion Picture have purchased the AV rights to the story of the legendary business family outlined in the book The Tatas: How a family built a Business and a Nation written by senior journalist Girish Kuber.
While the story's format (feature or series) has yet to be announced, it was previously speculated that the creators were working on a multi-season series to stream on a leading OTT platform. Almighty Motion Picture's Prabhleen Kaur Sandhu earlier claimed in an interview with the Economic Times that the show will have at least three seasons. “The endeavour is to put a spotlight on how the Tatas family contributed to community building. The series’ focus will not be limited to the raising of a business empire by the Tatas but will underscore their invaluable contribution to building our nation”, Sandhu said. “The show will not only cover the successful journey of Ratan Tata, former chairman of Tata Sons, but also his ancestors and the entire Parsi family,” Sandhu added.
Meanwhile, reports stated that the shooting of the series will start by the year-end and the auditions for roles will begin once the scripting process is complete. A research team is already in place to write the script based on the book.
