Priyanka wrote on Instagram:

I’m so proud to join the incredible team of the Academy Award-nominated documentary @tokillatigerdoc , and to announce that @netflix has acquired the global distribution rights to this powerful feature directed by @nishappics . When I first watched this film in 2022, I was immediately captivated by its poignant narrative, depicting a father’s valiant struggle within the judicial system to secure justice for his daughter. This project serves as a testament to the boundless love and unyielding determination of a devoted father for his cherished daughter.

This hard-hitting piece of art also really hits home on so many levels, but I was born in the state of Jharkhand (where the survivor and her father are from), and as the daughter of a father who was my forever champion…I was moved to pieces.

I cannot wait for audiences around the world to discover this moving story.

The film ‘To Kill a Tiger,’ helmed by Nisha Pahuja, has garnered over two dozen accolades globally, such as the Palm Springs International Film Festival’s Best Documentary, TIFF’s Amplify Voices Award, and the Canadian Screen Awards’ Best Feature Documentary.

The narrative centres on Ranjit, a Jharkhand farmer who decides to fight for his daughter Kiran, 13, who survived a sexual attack by three men in 2017. Ranjit vows to bring Kiran to justice. The movie debuted in theatres in October 2023 at New York’s Film Forum before travelling to other major cities.
