The movie is up against Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, The Father, One Night in Miami, and Nomadland. The movie ‘White Tiger’ was released on Netflix in January 2021.
Filmed mostly around Delhi, the movie depicts a witty and powerful story of ambition weaved around the ideas of the rich-poor divide and corruption. Gourav essayed the role of a poor driver who works for Chopra and Rao.
Notably, The White Tiger picked up nominations for the BAFTA Awards 2021 as well.
The 93rd Academy Awards is scheduled for April 25. This year, the Oscars will be an in-person event, despite the coronavirus pandemic.
