Priyanka Chopra, 38, stars in the first trailer for her upcoming Netflix film The White Tiger, based on the acclaimed 2008 novel of the same name.
The white tiger stars Adarsh Gourav in his first lead role as Balram Halwai, who shares his often dark story of his rise from a poor man to a strong entrepreneur in today’s India.
He links his success to working as a servant to a master who can give him prestige and power, Ashok (Rajkummar Rao) and Pinky (Chopra), who have just returned to India from the United States.
“I want to be a driver for your son,” Balram tells Ashok’s father as he travels to his estate.
The trailer illustrates the gulf of the class that separates them, while Ashok’s father reaches out to stop his son from trying to shake Balram’s hand.
