Actor Rajkummar Rao and Priyanka Chopra await the OTT release of their upcoming 'The White Tiger'. The actors star as supporting actors to Adarsh Gourav in the Ramin Bahrani directorial based on Aravind Adiga's Man Booker Prize-winning novel by the same name. All praises for PeeCee, Rao called her “phenomenal”. He said the actress never made the crew feel like she was the biggest star on the sets.
He said, “ Priyanka is phenomenal. She is a very chilled out person, a global star who never made us feel that she was the biggest star on our set. I have always been a big admirer of her work. It's fun to work with great actors as it enhances your performance and Priyanka did just that to me. She even helped me out in my scenes. I look forward to working with her more and hopefully, it will happen soon.”
Talking about the movie, he said, “TWT’s story is universal and people will relate to the characters. I knew the story pretty well, so my reference was always the script once I was signed for the film. It’s very detailed and all the characters are very well etched out. I have my own process of building a character which I apply in most of my films.”
'The White Tiger' has already been released in select theatres in the US, and is set to stream on Netflix from January 22. The film revolves around an ambitious driver for a rich Indian family, who uses his wit and cunning to escape from poverty and become an entrepreneur.
