Rajkummar Rao, who was most recently seen in Ekta Kapoor’s dark comedy film Judgementall Hai Kya (2019), is looking forward to working with global star Priyanka Chopra in digital adaptation of well-known author Aravind Adiga’s award-winning novel The While Tiger. The series will premiere on Netflix.
The National Film Award winning actor on Monday announced the commencement of The White Tiger by sharing some pictures from the reading session. In some of the pictures, the talented actor is seen posing with Priyanka Chopra. The second picture also includes filmmaker Ramin Bahrani and a co-star.
Captioning the post, Rajkummar Rao wrote that he cannot wait to start The White Tiger with these supremely talented people. “Can’t wait to start The White Tiger with these supremely talented people,” read his caption.
The White Tiger, the winner of the 40th Man Booker Prize in 2008, is the second Netflix adaptation of a novel by Aravind Adiga. The streaming media giant had previously adapted his yet another popular novel Selection Day as well.
Talking about being a part of The White Tiger, Priyanka Chopra had earlier said, “I am 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.”
On the film front, Rajkummar Rao is looking forward to the release of his next movie Made In China, co-starring Mouni Roy and Boman Irani. Priyanka Chopra, on the other hand, is busy promoting her much-awaited Hindi film The Sky Is Pink with Farhan Akhtar and Zaira Wasim. Directed by Shonali Bose, The Sky Is Pink is slated for its date with cinemas on 11th October, 2019.
