Amitabh Bachchan and Ratan Tata have an interesting, lesser-known connection. Amitabh Bachchan was the hero in the only film that Ratan Tata ever produced. In 2004, Tata made his foray into the world of cinema by co-producing a film titled Aetbaar. The film, a romantic psychological thriller directed by Vikram Bhatt, starred Bollywood icons Amitabh Bachchan, John Abraham and Bipasha Basu. Tata co-produced the film alongside Jatin Kumar. Amitabh Bachchan and Ratan Tata have had a long-standing association via campaigns, as mentioned by the actor in his post.

Ratan Tata’s passing has left a profound void in India’s corporate and philanthropic landscape and the world is mourning this tragic loss. The Tata family issued a statement which read, “It is with deep sorrow that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved Ratan.”

“We, his brothers, sisters and family, take solace and comfort in the outpouring of love and respect from all who admired him. While he is no longer with us in person, his legacy, humility, generosity and purpose will continue to inspire future generations. During this time of grief, we request privacy as we come together to honour his memory,” the statement read.
