Priyanka Chopra Celebrates As The White Tiger Bags 7 Nominations At The BAFTA Awards Including One For Her

Set In India, Iranian filmmaker Ramin Bahrani’s The White Tiger which released on Netflix earlier in year has received seven nominations at the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards for 2021. The film starring Priyanka Chopra, Adarsh Gourav, and Rajkummar Rao in key roles has been appreciated internationally for a powerful screen adaptation of Aravind Adiga’s Man Booker Booker prize-winning novel of the same name.

The BAFTA Award nominations have been announced and actress Priyanka Chopra is elated to see the film getting nominated in several categories including Best Film. The actress has been nominated herself in the Best Supporting Actress category. The other five categories that the film has received a nod for include Best Director, Best Lead Actor, Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography and Editing.

BAFTA this year expended the eligibility period for its Film Awards. The move from the academy came after the dry spell in theatres worldwide last year due to which the awards which are generally held in January were also pushed back and will now take place in April 2021.

The movie released on Netflix on January 13 2021. The film highlights the difference between the haves and the have-nots in India where a small town driver Balram Halwai fights his fate to move up social ladder.
