Tiger Narrated by Priyanka Chopra Jonas Releases on The Occasion World Earth Day

Priyanka Chopra has lent her voice to the documentary Tiger which is releasing today, on the occasion of World Earth Day.

The story is about a resilient tiger, Ambar, raising her four cubs in the forests of India. The documentary also highlights all the wonderful things nature has to offer. ‘Tiger’  is directed by Mark Linfield, co-directed by Vanessa Berlowitz and Rob Sullivan.

It took 1500 days of filming in the jungles of India for the documentary to be completed. According to the makers of the film, Priyanka was the only choice for the voice-over artist as they needed someone who could cater to not only Indian but also International audiences.

In an interview with PTI, Priyanka said that she was excited about the project as the story was based on an Indian tigress. She also loves doing voice over work which was an added incentive.

“When you’re an actor, you’re used to the audio visual medium, and here we are taking away the visual and it’s just the audio medium. And I think the challenge really is to be able to convey emotions with just your voice and not do too much. But yet be able to find the right balance.”

“It’s been a while that I’ve been straddling this. Almost 12 years… I’ve been straddling both industries in both worlds. It’s very exciting to me to be able to work in any language and to be able to work in two of the largest film industries in the world. I love my job and I love the medium that I’ve been given, which is arts and to tell stories and to move people,” she said.

“I do enjoy real stories. I get very intrigued by everyday people and human beings around us.”

In an interview with Etimes, Director Mark Linfield expressed that Indians should be incredibly proud of this film as the documentary is not only the best portrait of the world's most popular animal but also showcases India’s beautiful forests.

Tiger streams on Disney+ Hotstar on April 22.
