Talking about The White Tiger, Priyanka had earlier said in a statement, “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 achieve one's goals is riveting. I look forward to filming this in India this fall and also working along with Rajkummar Rao for the first time and the wonderful cast Ramin is putting together.” While Rao said, “It's an exciting time for actors today and I'm thrilled to be a part of such a world-class project.
