Plot: Guru is the rag to riches story of an Indian villager (Bachchan), who
goes from being an ordinary peasant to one of the richest men in India.
Due to its striking similarities with his real life story, the movie
was thought to inspired by Dirubhai Ambani (the founder of the famous
Reliance Group). Even the lead character's slogan "think big, think
ahead, think fast" is word for word the Reliance Group corporate motto.
However, Mani Ratnam (director) and the movie's producers deny that
Guru is the story of any one person. They say it can be the story of
any Indian who went from nothing to being a mega name in the corporate
world.
