The White Tiger starring Adarsh Gaurav in the lead role along with Rajkummar Rao and Priyanka Chopra is making headlines from quite some time. After grabbing seven BAFTA nominations across top categories, The White Tiger has been nominated for the prestigious Oscar award race.
Writer-director Ramin Bahrani of The White Tiger has been nominated in the Best Adapted Screenplay category at the upcoming 93rd Academy Awards.
Actor Rajkummar and Priyanka announced the Oscar nominations on Monday.
The Roohi actor wrote: "We are nominated for the #OSCARS Congratulations #RaminBahrani and team #TheWhiteTiger."
Priyanka took to Instagram to express her happiness. She wrote: We just got nominated for an Oscar! Congratulations Ramin and team #TheWhiteTiger. Somehow announcing the nomination myself made it so much more special. So so proud ❤️
In BAFTA, The White Tiger has made quite a mark after being mentioned in seven categories — Best Film, Best Director, Adapted Screenplay, Leading Actor, Supporting Actress, Cinematography and Editing.
Indeed, it's a proud moment for Indians and Indian movie lovers.
"Mank", with 10 nominations, has garnered the highest number of nominations this year. The black and white biopic, based on the life of "Citizen Kane" co-screenplay writer Herman J. Mankiewicz, garnered nominations in the categories of Best Picture, Best Director (for David Fincher), Best Actor (Gary Oldman) and Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Amanda Seyfried).
Other notable films that won multiple nominations include "The Trial Of The Chicago 7" (six nominations), "Judas And The Black Messiah" (six), "The Father" (six) and "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom" (five).
The late Chadwick Boseman is a contender in the Best Actor category for "Ma Rainey's Black Bottom".
The Oscars will be held on April 25 (early hours of April 26 in India). The show will blend virtual and live action presentation, and the host is yet to be officially announced.
