Siddhartha Basu Asked About The Presence OF Mahindra Tractor In Minari to Anand Mahindra On Twitter
Siddhartha Basu, who was watching the Korean film at the time, noticed the Mahindra tractor. Anand Mahindra, Chairman of Mahindra Group, was approached by the television producer-director with a query. He asked on Twitter whether the tractor's appearance in the film was a "happy happenstance" or if it was purposefully put.
The question based on a tractor with the Mahindra logo came on screen a handful of times in the Oscar-nominated film Minari.
Sandeep Chakravorty, Joint Secretary Europe West, asked his followers on Wednesday about the Oscar-winning Korean film in which a Mahindra tractor was featured. It warms the hearts to see Indian brands making their mark on the global stage with #UngoogleableQuiz. He mentioned that this is an actual frame from a recent Oscar-winning international film featuring a @Mahindratractor.
Siddhartha Basu said in response to the tweet that Mahindra is the world's largest selling tractor brand by volume,and asked whether the company's presence in Minari was merely a happy coincidence. However, Siddhartha Basu has yet to receive a response from Anand Mahindra.
