Priyanka to play a role in upcoming Hollywood movie with Mindy Kaling

(FASTNEWS | INDIA) – Priyanka Chopra has multiple projects lined up and among them, fans have been most excited to see the actress team up with Mindy Kaling for a romantic comedy that will revolve around South Asian culture and a big fat Indian wedding with Kaling and Chopra playing cousins.

Speaking about the importance of South Asian representation and how she explores the same with her projects, Kaling also detailed how her upcoming film with Chopra will deal with the same.

She said, “We’re really proud of it, we show South Asian Americans that are from Southern Indian. 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?”

Adding on about the roles that Priyanka and Mindy will play in their upcoming film, she said, “I have this movie with Priyanka Chopra, she’s Punjabi Indian from India and I’m an Indian American Bengali girl from the East Coast. It’s so different and that’s what makes our dynamic so fun together.”
