Ratan Tata made only film for Amitabh Bachchan

Mumbai (Team Newsbuddy): The death of Tata Group Chairman Ratan Tata has plunged the whole country into grief. Ratan Tata’s personality was beyond a businessman. Big-hearted Ratan Tana lived with a vision and transformed his life into a mission. Ratan Tata is present in every home of the country in some way or the other through the Tata Group. Ratan Tata explored every field. The chairman of the country’s largest conglomerate set different standards in different fields and also got success. If he could not make any field his own, then it is only the film industry. Yes, he tried his hand in this field too, but he did not get much success. If you are thinking that Ratan Tana became an actor or wrote the story of the film, then it is not so, he invested money to make the film, that is, his role was that of a producer. Ratan Tata tried to enter the films as a producer but his first attempt proved to be a failure. After this he gave up films and considered it a tough job. The only film made by Ratan Tata is ‘Aitbaar’ which was released in theatres in 2004. This film was produced by Ratan Tata along with Jitin Kumar, Khushboo Bhada and Mandeep Singh. The film was directed by Vikram Bhatt and actors like Amitabh Bachchan, John Abraham, Bipasha Basu, Supriya Pilgaonkar, Ali Asgar, Tom Alter and Deepak Shirke played important roles in it. Rajesh Roshan worked on the music of the film.

*What was the story of ‘Aitbaar’

• ‘Aitbaar’ was an adaptation of the American film ‘Fear’ released in 1996. A Hindi adaptation of ‘Fear’ had already been made, named ‘Inteha’. The special thing is that this film was also directed by Vikram Bhatt. This film was released just three months ago in October 2003. The story of ‘Aitbaar’ is about a father Dr. Ranveer Malhotra (Amitabh Bachchan), who is very protective of his daughter Riya (Bipasha Basu) after losing his son Rohit. He is trying to stop his daughter from having a relationship with the possessive and unpredictable boy Aryan (John Abraham), but the daughter ignores him and continues to meet him.
• The film was a flop

If we talk about the box office verdict of this film ‘Aitbaar’ released on 23 January 2004, then this film was a flop. The film did not even recover the cost. Made at a cost of Rs 9.30 crore, this film collected only Rs 7.96 crore at the box office. This film proved to be a commercial failure and this was the reason why Ratan Tata never invested money in any film again.
