Renowned actor Naseeruddin Shah will be seen portraying the legendary industrialist J.R.D. Tata in the new series Made in India – A Titan Story. The makers also revealed Jim Sarbh’s first look, who will play Xerxes Desai, another visionary behind Titan. The series tells the inspiring story of how J.R.D. Tata and Xerxes Desai built Titan, turning a bold idea into one of India’s most iconic brands.
The first look shows a young Titan team working with determination, facing global doubt but driven by strong belief and ambition. From boardrooms to factory floors, it reflects the journey of an idea that became a legacy and a source of pride for millions of Indians.
Naseeruddin Shah expressed that playing J.R.D. Tata is both an honour and a duty. He described Tata as a leader who blended vision with compassion, whose life story is closely linked to the creation of modern India. Shah added that the series goes beyond portraying a company — it celebrates a lasting legacy that continues to inspire people across generations.
Jim Sarbh said that Xerxes Desai was a true visionary who recognised opportunities where others saw doubt. Portraying him gave Sarbh a chance to delve into the determination required to build something enduring. He added that the series is a story of perseverance, innovation, and the belief in an idea greater than oneself.
Set to premiere early next year on Amazon MX Player, Made in India – A Titan Story is produced by Prabhleen Sandhu of Almighty Motion Picture, directed by Robby Grewal, and written by Karan Vyas.
