Ratan Tata, the legendary Indian industrialist and former chairman of the Tata Group, passed away on 9th October 2024 at the age of 86 at Breach Candy Hospital, Mumbai. As the nation and the global business community mourn the loss of one of India’s most iconic personalities, tributes have poured in from various quarters. Bollywood actors, filmmakers, and musicians have expressed their condolences, recalling fond memories of the visionary leader.
One of the lesser-known aspects of Tata’s life was his love for films, particularly action comedies. In a 2020 interview with the BBC, Shantanu Naidu, Tata’s close aide, revealed that the industrialist liked Hollywood action-comedy films. Among his favourites were 'The Other Guys', starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, and 'The Lone Ranger', which was recently remade in 2013, starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer in lead roles.
