Actress, writer, producer and director Mindy Kaling has revealed that Priyanka Chopra will play as a Punjabi woman in the upcoming romantic comedy film of Kaling in a recent interview with Forbes.

“Late Night” follows a veteran talk show host played by Thompson who’s facing declining ratings, possible cancellation and a reputation for not liking women. Kaling wrote the script and plays the “diversity hire” in the writer’s room who has no qualifications except an undying love for Thompson’s character, Katherine Newbury. But she helps shake things up for the show.
