Tigers (initially titled White Lies)[2] is a 2014 Indian drama film directed by Danis Tanovic, and produced as a joint production between Cinema Time, French production company ASAP Films and Sikhya Entertainment.
The episode that repeated in Pakistan in 1990s was repetition of the Nestle Baby Milk Scandal in 1970s that occurred in developing countries. The film features Emraan Hashmi in the leading role as a pharmaceutical representative in Pakistan who discovers his new company's baby formula has killed hundreds of children, after which he begins a lone and dangerous battle against the company.[3] The film began filming in 2013, and had its premiere in September 2014 at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.[4][5]
The film faced multiple delays during its initial release. After Tanovic decided to fictionalise Raza’s battle, he had renamed the food company as Lasta in the film. Tigers premiered on the streaming platform ZEE5 on 21 November 2018.[6][7][8]
