The Oscar nominations came out last night, and Priyanka Chopra produced and starrer The White Tiger has been nominated in the Best Adapted Screenplay category.
The White Tiger, adapted from Aravind Adiga’s novel of the same name and directed by Ramin Bahrani, stars Adarsh Gourav in the lead role. Gourav has already been nominated for a BAFTA and an AACTA for his performance in the film.
Priyanka Chopra, who announced the nominations along with her husband Nick Jonas, took to Twitter to share her excitement about getting nominated, along with co-stars Gourav and Rajkummar Rao.
We just got nominated for an Oscar! Congratulations Ramin and team #TheWhiteTiger.
