IZEE Entertainment Enterprises on Thursday condoled the tragic passing of Padma Vibhushan Ratan Tata with a heavy heart. Ratan Tata is a name that has been a beacon of leadership, vision, compassion, and work ethic for generations of Indians, the media giant said.
As a tribute to the global corporate leader who played a major role in the Indian economy, leading to the development of millions of Indians, ZEE Entertainment Enterprises MD and CEO Punit Goenka proposed a “historical film about people’s lives. Shri Ratan Tata ji” should be done, in order to convey the dignity of the great man and the positive impact he has created in the world through his social and business efforts.
Goenka believes that the great work done by the late industrialist should be presented to the nation and the world at large, especially the youth. ZEE will take a step forward in this regard, he said.
RR Gopalan, Chairman of ZEEL, said the entire board was saddened that India would miss Tata. Approving this program, he said that the film will be produced by ZEE Studios, with the aim of honoring Rata Tata. “We feel that the film will have a positive impact on the world, learn from his life, and inspire millions to follow in his footsteps,” he said.
The project will be subject to ZEE getting approval from TATA Sons.
