White Tiger by Aravind Adiga is now being adapted into a screenplay. The book had won the Booker prize recently. The rights have been acquired by John Hart’s newly formed Smuggler Films has acquired rights to The White Tiger as its first project. I know a lot Indian Filmmakers would have wanted to adapt this book too.

white tiger has had lot of negative reviews in indian press akin to slumdog on the same points that it panders to western readers..
‘White’ to ‘Brown’ tiger.
Good news that Adiga’s work is getting adapted, It read like a entertaining film only, filled with stark humor. Now translating those words into images would be a real task….especially bringing in the humorous element…
sad..that Indidan studios/leading production houses don’t pounce upon the opportunity to buy these literary works..
Will be an interesting watch.I’m quite keen to know who will play the lead.
when i read the book, one of the first thoughts that came to my mind was that one can describe the book in a nutshell as ‘A Madhur Bhandarkar Film’
