Nation award-winning director Sudha Kongara was rumoured to be planning her next project on Ratan Tata. Rumours were afloat that research on the film is currently at a crucial stage and Sudha is planning to take the project onto the sets at the end of 2023.

Close sources revealed "Tata is one of the renowned industrialists of our country and it's a matter of pride to chronicle his story onto the silver screen. The film will bring many facets of the life of Tata and also showcases many incidents that are not available in the public domain. His life is an inspiration for every Indian around the world. The script work is also in the works and the makers are planning to start the principal photography in the last quarter of next year,"

But the director has now released an official statement mentioning that she is not planning to do the biopic of Ratan Tata. Taking to her Twitter she wrote, "I’m a huge admirer of Mr. Ratan Tata. However I have no intention of making his biopic at this moment. But thank you all for your interest in my next film! Soon!"

Sudha's last film was Soorarai Pottru starring Suriya and Aparna Balamurali, the film, which was based on the life of Air Deccan founder and retired Captain of the Indian Army GR Gopinath, has won five awards including Best Feature Film, and Best Screenplay at the 68th National Film Awards. Currently, she is busy with the works of the Hindi version of the same film.
