Ramin Bahrani, Part 1

In this inaugural episode of “The White Tiger” podcast, writer-director Ramin Bahrani joins host Stephanie Mehta, Editor-in-chief at Fast Company, to discuss the journey of the film. He talks about his longtime friendship with Aravind Ardiga, the author of the novel on which the film is based, and how he was first approached to make the film. He discusses key creative decisions, including maintaining the tone of the book and its time period, and the visual language of the film. Bahrani also reflects on the film’s central metaphor of the rooster coop, and the story’s powerful global appeal.
