As a humble tribute to the leader of the corporate world who made significant contribution to India’s economy, which resulted in the upliftment of millions of Indians, ZEE Entertainment Enterprises MD and CEO Punit Goenka has proposed a “biographical film on the life of Shri Ratan Tata ji” should be made, in order to pay regards to the great man and for the positive impact that he has created on the world at large through his social and entrepreneurial initiatives.

Approving the project, he said that the movie would be produced by ZEE Studios, to pay homage to Rata Tata. "We feel that the film will make positive impact on the world at large, to learn from his life, and motivate millions to follow in his footsteps," he said. 

This project will be subject to ZEE getting approval from TATA Sons.

In order to get the movie a global reach, ZEE Studios will collaborate with WION (World is One News), as co-producer so that the movie can reach globally through its reach and large viewership in more than 190 countries.
