The White Tiger Teaser Trailer Out: Priyanka Chopra, Rajkummar Rao, Adarsh Gourav Give Us Glimpse Of Their Twisted Lives

Priyanka Chopra on Wednesday released the first look trailer of her upcoming movie The White Tiger. Also starring Rajkummar Rao and debutant Adarsh Gourav, the film is based on Aravind Adiga’s New York Times-bestselling and 2008 Man Booker Prize-winning novel of the same name.

The White Tiger is a social satire that explores themes like poverty, corruption, survival and class struggle in India. The trailer unfolds from the point of view of Balram Halwai (Adarsh), who is narrating his rise from a poor villager to a successful entrepreneur. But his journey isn’t any rags to riches story. It, in fact, follows his highly ambitious plans and how he fulfils them.

Balram, on his route to success, takes up the job of a driver for a US returned couple – Ashok (Rajkummar) and Pinky (Priyanka). His dutiful ways and social lessons towards how to be a good servant makes him indispensable to his masters. However, tables turn when one night, the couple try to trap him to save themselves. How Balram ensures not just his freedom, but also a rebellion against the class system in India, forms the crux of the film.
