Netflix has released a trailer for an upcoming new film titled The White Tiger, which is based on author Aravind Adiga’s 2008 novel of the same name. The film tells the story of a man’s journey from his rise of the bottom of the Indian social class.
In The White Tiger, “Balram Halwai narrates his epic and darkly humorous rise from poor villager to successful entrepreneur in modern India. Cunning and ambitious, our young hero jockeys his way into becoming a driver for Ashok and Pinky, who have just returned from America. Society has trained Balram to be one thing — a servant — so he makes himself indispensable to his rich masters. But after a night of betrayal, he realizes the corrupt lengths they will go to trap him and save themselves. On the verge of losing everything, Balram rebels against a rigged and unequal system to rise up and become a new kind of master.”
The film was written and directed by Ramin Bahrani and it stars Adarsh Gourav, Priyanka Chopra-Jonas, Rajkummar Rao, Mahesh Manjrekar, and Vijay Maurya.
The White Tiger is produced by Ava DuVernay and will be released on January 22, 2020.
