Amitabh Bachchan took to Instagram to share a picture of himself with Ratan Tata, expressing his grief. “An era has just passed away... his humility, his great resolve, his vision, and his determination to accomplish the very best for the Nation, ever a pride... it was my greatest honour to have had the opportunity and privilege to work together towards common humanitarian causes... A very sad day... my prayers.”

In 2004, industrialist and philanthropist Ratan Tata produced a romantic psychological thriller, which happens to be the only film he ever produced in his entire career.
