Adapted from Aravind Adiga's prize-winning novel by the same name, The White Tiger will star Priyanka Chopra and Rajkummar Rao in lead roles. Apart from this new duo, the film will also feature debutante Adarsh Gourav. The White Tiger to be helmed by Ramin Bahrani will begin shooting in India later this year. Priyanka and Rajkummar will be seen in pivotal roles.

In an interview with IANS, Priyanka Chopra said: "I'm so excited to work with Ramin Bahrani and Netflix to bring Aravind Adiga's poignant story to cinematic life. When I read the book, I was fascinated with the perspective of the narrative. The story's portrayal of raw ambition and the extent one will go to to achieve one's goals is riveting. I look forward to filming this in India this fall and also working along with Rajkummar for the first time and the wonderful cast Ramin is putting together."
