The entire nation is saddened by the demise of veteran businessman and Tata Sons Charitable Trust Chairman Ratan Tata. From common people to celebs are mourning the demise of the business tycoon. From the film industry to businessmen, everyone is saying the same thing that an era has come to an end. Ratan Tata has relations not only with business but also with the film industry. He also had good relations with Bollywood superstars. How did this relationship develop?
Ratan Tata withheld money
This is about the time when the film 'Aitbar' came. This film, released in 2004, was directed by Ratan Tata and was a romantic psychological thriller film. Apart from Amitabh Bachchan, John Abraham and Bipasha Basu also worked in this film. This film was directed by Vikram Bhatt and made on a budget of Rs 9.50 crore, the film earned only Rs 7.96 crore.
Big B said this
The film on which Ratan Tata invested money could not even meet its budget and failed at the box office. After this Ratan Tata never made any film. But after this, the relationship between Ratan Tata and Amitabh Bachchan definitely increased. Amitabh Bachchan once told that he was traveling in a flight and a gentleman was sitting on the seat next to him, who was wearing very simple clothes.
I was trying to talk to him – Amitabh Bachchan
He seemed very educated and middle class. The rest of the people on the flight recognized me, but he did not. At that time he was concentrating on reading the paper and looking out the window. When he was asked about tea, he also drank tea. When I was looking at him and trying to talk to him, he was also smiling very lovingly.
What did Amitabh Bachchan learn?
Big B said that after this we both started talking and raised the issue of films. I asked him if he watches movies. Yes, but very little and many years ago. After this we both talked and when we got off the flight we both told each other our names. Big B says that he has learned only one thing from Ratan Sahab and that is that no matter how big you become, remain humble.
