Ratan Naval Tata, a well-known leader in Indian industry and former Chairman of the Tata Group, died on Wednesday night at the age of 86. He was in Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital earlier that week due to a sudden drop in blood pressure. The news surprised the nation, and many people paid tribute to him by remembering his contributions to business and society.
Who could play Ratan Tata in his biopic?
Ratan Tata, the legendary industrialist, has kept his personal life mostly private. He is known for his humble nature, strong leadership, and generous philanthropy. In addition to his business success, he was committed to social causes and rural development through the Tata Trusts. As a role model for many, people are keen to know more about Tata. There are already talks on social about an anticipated biopic on the Padma Vibhushan awardee.
In a Reddit thread, a user posed the question, “Who would you like to see portray Ratan Tata in his biopic?”
While many Redditors expressed concerns that an overly emotional Bollywood film might tarnish his legacy, some offered suggestions for the lead role.
Here is how Reddit users reacted:
A Reddit user wrote, “I would prefer a good documentary with unpopular good actors .. but not another masala biopic from Bollywood,” Another pointed out, “I don't want someone to plan this atleast for the next half a decade things are improving a bit we are getting good directors who won't fuck it up. And hopefully no one just instantly announces a biopic looking at such posts to commercialise his death.”
A comment read,”Sid looks like him the most. If he can act like he did in Shershaah, he can pull it off. Also RIP to Mr. Tata, he was a great philanthropist.” Another user suggested, “Only Jim Sarbh.”
A user said, “If they are to begin at a young age, Vedang Raina could do it. If they want to begin slightly older, Aditya Seal.” “Avinash Tiwary. If at all someone dares to make a film on legendary Shri Ratan Tata,” another said.
