Free Streaming on Amazon MX Player Opens Doors for All

Streaming early next year on Amazon MX Player, the six-episode drama charts the inspiring journey of how J.R.D. Tata’s leadership shaped the Titan brand and Indian consumer culture. Viewers can watch this series for free. Through this decision, the platform has opened the door to a wide audience eager to explore the origins of one of India’s most iconic brands.

The casting also puts a great spotlight on the storyline. The first glimpse of Shah's character exhibits not just a physical transformation but also an aura of power that resonates with the mighty persona of the visionary Tata. With Shah’s commanding on-screen presence, the tale of the Indian aggrandizer who founded Tata Airlines and laid the foundation for Titan is sure to leave its mark on the audience. 

Stellar Cast and Visionary Direction Add Weight to the Tribute

Jim Sarbh plays Xerxes Desai, the man who actualized J.R.D. Tata’s vision with the launch of Titan in the 1980s. Their journey, set against the backdrop of a bureaucratic and financially limited India, is the heart of this story. It is adapted from journalist Vinay Kamath’s book Titan: Inside India’s Most Successful Consumer Brand.

The series is directed by Robby Grewal and written by Karan Vyas. Producer Prabhleen Sandhu backs the project under Almighty Motion Picture. The cast also includes Namita Dubey, Vaibhav Tatwawaadi, Kaveri Seth, Lakshvir Saran, and Paresh Ganatra in important roles.

Director Robby Grewal highlighted that J.R.D. Tata was more than a businessman who created organizations with missions. His story connects deeply with the fabric of India’s industrial rise. With Shah leading the role, the series hopes to remind viewers of the values that built the country’s trusted brands.

Meanwhile, Shah recently turned 75 and marked his birthday quietly at Mumbai’s Prithvi Theatre, surrounded by close friends and fellow actors. His performance in IC814: The Kandahar Hijack on Netflix was his most recent work before this upcoming release.

‘Made in India - A Titan Story’ brings together history, innovation, and personal ambition. The series aims to honour one of India’s greatest industrial minds by showcasing the real forces behind the Titan brand’s success.
