Another chapter is unfolding for India’s most cherished corporate underdog story. After the massive acclaim of Made in India: A Titan Story, THR India has learnt that development is underway on a second season, this time shifting its lens to the founding of the country's jewelry giant: Tanishq.
The first season of the show, hailed as one of the best series of the year, was a major hit for Amazon MX Player. It starred Jim Sarbh as Xerxes Desai and Naseeruddin Shah as JRD Tata.
According to a source close to the development, the second season of Made in India: A Titan Story — which chronicled the rise of Titan Company and the individuals who transformed it into one of India's most successful consumer brands — will be titled Made in India: A Tanishq Story.
Almighty Motion Picture will once again produce the series, and Robbie Grewal, who helmed the first season, will direct it.
"While the character of JRD Tata will not feature in the new outing — given that he was not present during the founding years of Tanishq — Ratan Tata could make an appearance," a source added. "The development has begun and work is on. It is scheduled to go on floors soon."
Sources suggest that the new season will carry narrative continuity by leaning on Jim Sarbh's character as he will take the story forward. Further details about the show are awaited.
Adapted from Vinay Kamath’s book 'Titan - India’s Most Successful Consumer Brand',Made in India: A Titan Story explored ambition, mentorship, and the "relentless pursuit of excellence that turned an unlikely idea into a national legacy."
The show was written by Karan Vyas, and also featured Namita Dubey, Vaibhav Tatwawadi, Lakshvir Saran, and Kaveri Seth.
