What I love about ‘Made in India: A Titan Story’ is that while it speaks of ambition and scale, at its core, it’s deeply human, about persistence, instinct, and believing in an idea long before anyone else does. Playing Xerxes and partnering 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”.
