T-Series Films and Almighty Motion Picture are developing The Tatas, a premium multi-season drama adapted from Girish Kuber’s book on the Tata family. Written by Karan Vyas, the series will trace four eras from Jamsetji to Ratan Naval Tata, blending corporate history, nation-building, and intimate character drama rooted in India’s socio-political evolution.
Following the success of their recent collaboration, Made in India: A Titan Story, T-Series Films and Almighty Motion Picture have joined hands for what is being billed as their most ambitious project to date: a premium, multi-season drama series titled The Tatas.
The series brings on board screenwriter Karan Vyas—fresh off widespread industry praise for anchoring the emotional and historical weight of the Titan narrative—to adapt Girish Kuber’s book, The Tatas: How a Family Built a Business and a Nation.
Designed as a sweeping, multi-generational saga, The Tatas will chronicle the architecture of a family whose "corporate ethos, industrial breakthroughs, and philanthropic institutions became deeply intertwined with the birth and evolution of modern India," a release from the makers stated.
According to the note, rather than restricting the narrative to corporate boardrooms, the series aims to offer a deeply intimate character study of visionary leaders balancing immense personal conviction with the socio-political shifts of a changing nation.
Structurally, the drama series will chart four distinct eras of the Tata lineage, tracing how each generation introduced foundational pillars to the Indian landscape: Starting from Jamsetji Nusserwanji Tata, the founder, Sir Dorabji Tata and Sir Ratan Tata and Lady Meharbai Tata, the consolidators, JRD Tata, the modernizer, and Ratan Naval Tata, the globalist.
Producer Bhushan Kumar, T-Series Films said, "We are humbled to present The Tatas, a story that celebrates a family whose vision and values have shaped generations, and we hope audiences embrace it with the same love and affection they showered upon Made in India: A Titan Story."
Speaking on the scale of the adaptation, writer Karan Vyas added that the deeper he went into the archives of the Tata family, the more he realised that this isn't merely corporate history but a "foundational narrative of modern India."
"These were individuals who constantly looked past their balance sheets to build institutions that served the collective. Teaming up with Almighty Motion Picture allows us to approach this with the scale it demands—intimate in its human relationships, yet massive in its historical scope," Vyas added.
Producer Prabhleen Sandhu, co-founder of Almighty Motion Picture, said with The Tatas, the team is expanding that vision "onto an even grander canvas."
The series is currently in active script development, with director and casting attachments expected to be announced later this year.
