Amitabh Bachchan and Ratan Tata.
The death of Tata Group Chairman Ratan Tata has plunged the entire country into grief. Ratan Tata’s personality went beyond that of a businessman. Big-hearted Ratan Tana lived with a vision and turned his life into a mission. Ratan Tata is present in every household 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 achieved success. If he cannot make any field his own then it is only the film industry. Yes, he had tried his hand in this field also, but he did not get much success. If you are wondering whether 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.
This was the only film
Ratan Tata tried to enter films as a producer but his first attempt proved unsuccessful. Only after this he gave up films and considered it a tough task. The only film made by Ratan Tata is ‘Aitbar’, which was released in theaters in 2004. This film was produced by Ratan Tata along with Jitin Kumar, Khushboo Bhadha and Mandeep Singh. The film was directed by Vikram Bhatt and featured actors like Amitabh Bachchan, John Abraham, Bipasha Basu, Supriya Pilgaonkar, Ali Asgar, Tom Alter and Deepak Shirke in important roles. Rajesh Roshan worked on the music of the film.
What was the story of ‘Aitbar’
‘Aitbar’ was an adaptation of the American film ‘Fear’ released in 1996. A Hindi adaptation had already been made on ‘Fear’, 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. ‘Aitbaar’ is the story of a father, Dr. Ranveer Malhotra (Amitabh Bachchan), who is extremely protective of his daughter Rhea (Bipasha Basu) after losing his son Rohit. He is trying to stop his daughter from having a relationship with a possessive and unpredictable boy Aryan (John Abraham), but the daughter ignores him and continues dating him.
the film flopped
Talking about the box office verdict of the film ‘Aitbar’, which was released on 23 January 2004, the film was a flop. The film did not even recover its cost. Made for 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 became the reason why Ratan Tata never invested money in any film again.
