To Kill A Tiger is written and directed by Canada-based filmmaker Nisha Pahuja. The film is co-produced by the National Film Board of Canada, along with Nisha Pahuja, David Oppenheim and Cornelia Principe. Priyanka Chopra, Mindy Kaling and Dev Patel are on board ‘To Kill A Tiger’ as executive producers.
