The first trailer for the upcoming Netflix film The White Tiger was dropped on Wednesday evening. The film is based on Aravind Adiga's Man Booker Prize-winning novel of the same name. The film stars Adarsh Gourav, Rajkummar Rao and Priyanka Chopra Jonas in lead roles. Netflix's The White Tiger has been written for the screen and directed by Ramin Bahrani. Aravind and Ramin's friendship goes way back, with Aravind having dedicated his novel to Ramin when it was first published.
What is it all about?
Pinky (Priyanka Chopra) and Ashok (Rajkummar Rao) play a rich couple from Delhi who hire Balram (Adarsh Gourav) as their driver. However, a life of servility doesn't fit his dreams. Cunning and ambitious Balram tries to leave the life of enslavement behind and launch himself on a path to success, by any means necessary. Balram rebels against a rigged and unequal system to rise and become a new kind of master.
Locations at which the film has been shot
The film was shot with an Indian crew in New Delhi, Bengaluru, Dhanbad and Agra.
