India’s T-Series Films and Almighty Motion Picture, the team behind hit Amazon MX Player series “Made in India: A Titan Story,” are reuniting for “The Tatas,” a multi-season drama adapting Girish Kuber’s book “The Tatas: How a Family Built a Business and a Nation.”
The companies acquired the audio-visual rights to Kuber’s book in 2022 and are now moving the project into script development.
Kuber’s book won the Gaja Capital Business Book of the Year award. The series will track four generations of the Tata family, beginning with founder Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata, whose ventures included Tata Steel, the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel and groundwork for the Indian Institute of Science.
The second chapter centers on Sir Dorabji Tata, Sir Ratan Tata and Lady Meharbai Tata, covering the buildout of Tata Steel, the founding of Tata Hydro-Electric Power and the establishment of the Tata Trusts. The third traces J.R.D. Tata’s decades at the helm, spanning the creation of Tata Airlines, later Air India, the launch of Tata Motors and the 1968 founding of Tata Consultancy Services. The final arc follows Ratan Naval Tata’s expansion of the conglomerate onto the global stage, including the growth of Titan.
