The White Tiger actor Adarsh Gourav, who was nominated in the Best Actor category, failed to bag the honour. Indian actor Adarsh Gourav earned global spotlight with his nomination at the 74th British Academy of Films and Television Arts (BAFTA) awards for his performance of Balram Halwai in "The White Tiger", in the Leading Actor category. 

He was in competition with Anthony Hopkins, the late Chadwick Boseman, Riz Ahmed, Mads Mikkelsen and Tahar Rahim. Hopkins won the gong for The Father (2020). Getting nominated with such names is as good as a win, says Adarsh, who says he had no expectations. "I feel this is my first international film and just being nominated alongside people like Sir Anthony Hopkins, Mads Mikkelsen, Chadwick Boseman. These people have been such a strong source of inspiration for me throughout my career. I feel a nomination is as good as a win for me," Adarsh told IANS. He added: "I did not have any expectations."
