Of course, South Asians will take the stage in the film rather than Greek characters. According to a recent interview, Mindy Kaling will play an Indian American Bengali woman from the East Coast. While Priyanka would portray a Punjabi Indian from India.

She claimed that with the episodes she is now making for Netflix and HBO Max, The Sex Lives of College Girls and Never Have I Ever, she hopes to draw attention to the cultural variations that exist even within more developed societies. “On our show, 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,” she said.

Mindy added, “Why would people necessarily know that if they don’t have shows that explain and explore that difference? 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.”
