Priyanka Chopra says Tiger was right up her alley as the story is set in India 

Priyanka Chopra Jonas has turned narrator for the upcoming documentary Tiger. The Disneynature documentary for which Chopra Jonas gives the voiceover in English revolves around Ambar, a young tigress raising her cubs in the fabled forests of India. It will start streaming on Disney+ Hotstar on April 22 on Earth Day. 

The actor, who has earlier lent her voice for Frozen 2, The Jungle Book and Planes, said she has always been a big fan of nature documentaries and Tiger presented her with an interesting opportunity to talk about a story coming from India. “So many hours of incredible filmmaking to be able to capture this family… The fact that it was Disneynature and they’re making something on a tiger which is based in India and the story of a tigress and her journey… all of it was just right up my alley. I love doing voice work. I really enjoy doing voice work. I’ve always enjoyed it. So that was another incentive,” Chopra Jonas told PTI in an interview.
