Chopra will star alongside Mindy Kaling as her cousin. The film will also mark their first collaboration together. Kaling said that she will portray an Indian American Bengali lady from the East Coast while Chopra will have the role of a Punjabi Indian from India.
During the interview with Forbes, Mindy talked about the diverse representation of the Asian experience in her projects. She said, “We’re really proud of it, we show South Asian Americans that are from Southern India. Then we show a Muslim Indian girl. Culturally, we see how they’re different from each other. The Asian experience is not a monolith. Why would people necessarily know that if they don’t have shows that explain and explore that difference?"
The movie will center on an Indian Wedding.
