Naseeruddin Shah, Jim Sarbh series ‘Made in India’ to premiere in June

Amazon MX Player has set a June 3 premiere date for “Made in India: A Titan Story,” a six-part drama that charts the founding and rise of Indian watchmaker Titan. The series will be available exclusively for free on the platform.

A trailer has been revealed.

Based on Vinay Kamath’s book ‘Titan: India’s Most Successful Consumer Brand’, the series is set in pre-liberalized India and follows the efforts of Xerxes Desai – the company’s founder and director – to build a homegrown watch brand under the mentorship of JRD Tata, long-time chairman of the Tata Group. Naseeruddin Shah plays Tata, with Jim Sarbh as Desai. Vaibhav Tatwawadi, Namita Dubey, Lakshvir Saran and Kaveri Seth complete the ensemble. Karan Vyas wrote the series; Robbie Grewal directed. Almighty Motion Pictures produces.

“Xerxes Desai struck me as someone who was quietly rebellious, someone who wasn’t afraid to challenge convention and imagine what didn’t yet exist,” Sarbh said. “What I love about ‘Made in India: A Titan Story’ is that while it speaks of ambition and scale, at its core it is deeply human – about perseverance, instinct and believing in an idea long before anyone else does. Playing Xerxes and collaborating with Amazon MX Player on a story so layered and inspiring has been incredibly exciting, and I can’t wait for audiences to discover this world.”

“’Made in India: A Titan Story’ is more than the journey of an iconic brand; it reflects the ambition and entrepreneurial spirit that shaped a defining chapter in the Indian story,” said Amogh Dusad, head of content at Amazon MX Player.

The series will be accessible via mobile devices, connected TVs, Amazon shopping app, Prime Video, Fire TV, JioTV and Airtel Xstream.
