Priyanka Chopra recently shared the first look of The White Tiger, an upcoming Netflix original movie based on Man Booker Prize-winning book by author Aravind Adiga. Apart from Chopra, the cast of the movie includes Rajkummar Rao and Adarsh Gourav.
Chopra took to Twitter and Instagram to share the upcoming movie's first look. She posted some stills from the film, along with the caption, "So proud to present the first look of THE WHITE TIGER - directed, written, and produced by Ramin Bahrani, based on The New York Times Bestseller and the 2008 Man Booker Prize-winning novel."
Writing about the film's plot, Priyanka Chopra revealed that this was a story of a family and the plight of one man - Balram Halwai played by Adarsh Gourav, who according to her is "one of the most talented newcomers I've ever worked with, and one of the most remarkable performances I’ve seen in a long time. Balram’s rise from a poor villager to successful entrepreneur in modern India showcases how hunger and the lack of opportunity can build and drive a human being’s animal instinct of survival."
Chopra also wrote that Rajkummar Rao, "already one of the most prolific actors in India, will showcase depths very few can." She further claimed that the film will make viewers uncomfortable, "and most importantly it will entertain you."

Elaborating on her role in the film, Chopra shared another post on Instagram and wrote, "In #TheWhiteTiger, I play the role of Pinky madam, who is a first generation immigrant in the US. She is in India with her husband, who is travelling for business. And then... life changes! Pinky madam is such a specific character, to play her unravelling in the story was such a joy.
This is a story that needs to be told and it comes alive with its characters so compellingly in Ramin’s hands. The White Tiger, coming soon to Netflix globally."
