Netizens suggested names of actors for Ratan Tata's biopic
Not much information has been revealed yet about who will play Ratan Tata's character in his biopic, or who will be included in the star cast of the film. At the same time, users on social media are suggesting the names of actors to play the role of Ratan Tata. This list includes names from Padmaavat actor Jim Sarbh to National Award-winning actor Naseeruddin Shah.
One user wrote on X 'Jim Sarbh as young Ratan Tata.' Replying to this, a person said- 'Both have the same smile.' Another comment read, 'Naseeruddin Shah or Boman Irani for old Ratan Tata.' One user wrote on Instagram, 'Naseeruddin Shahi would be best for this role.'
