Take a look at Amul's post here:
Adarsh Gourav was announced as one of the nominees in the category alongside seasoned actors like Riz Ahmed (Sound Of Metal), late Chadwick Boseman (Ma Rainey's Black Bottom), Mads Mikkelsen (Another Round), Anthony Hopkins (The Father) and Tahar Rahim (The Mauritanian).
In an interview with news agency PTI, the actor said, "This is unbelievable. It is surreal... I was at the gym. I just found out about the nomination." He added, "I saw my phone and there were a lot of messages on The White Tiger WhatsApp group and Pooja Gupte, the DOP called me. This is so unexpected and overwhelming."
The White Tiger is based on Aravind Adiga's Booker Prize-winning novel of the same name. It showcases the rags to riches story of Balram Halwai. The film also starring Priyanka Chopra and Rajkummar Rao, opened to largely positive reviews.
