Priyanka Chopra-Rajkummar Rao’s The White Tiger trailer out

The trailer of The White Tiger showcase the story of Adarsh Gourav, and his rise amid difficulties. The first step towards this was when he decides to seek work from Rajkummar Rao’s character, to be his driver when he was in a local food store. However, he is constantly mocked by the elite family, led by Mahesh Manjrekar’s character, though Priyanka’s character is not too pleased with the treatment meted out to him. 

Things take a turn when the family makes him take the responsibility of an accident when Priyanka was at the wheel with Adarsh and Rajkummar. The rest of the story traces how the family and Adarsh try to outwit each other, before the latter becomes a successful businessman, leading the company White Tiger Drivers. Queen’s I Want to Break Free plays in the background and gives an idea of the state of the protagonist's mind.

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.  This is a story about a family and the plight of one man - Balram Halwai played by Adarsh Gourav, 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. Rajkumar Rao, already one of the most prolific actors in India, will showcase depths very few can. The film is powerful. It will make you uncomfortable, and most importantly it will entertain you.   Coming soon to Netflix globally.  📸- @khamkhaphotoartist @netflixfilm   @netflixqueue   @netflix_in   @gouravadarsh   @rajkummar_rao   @vjymaurya @maheshmanjrekar @mukul.deora   @Ava   @purplepebblepictures    @tessjosephcasting @srishtibehlarya #AravindAdiga
