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. I've been an admirer of
Ramin's work and am excited to see The White Tiger come to life with Netflix!”
