What do you get when you combine two powerhouse women together in one comedy? A win waiting to happen. Such is the case with Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Mindy Kaling’s forthcoming Indian wedding comedy.

Chopra Jonas, 37, explained, “We’ve just started the writing process, but she’s (mindy) incredible and someone I’ve always looked up to. As an Indian working in America, I think she’s so supremely talented and hysterically funny and is just a great girl.”

The Quantico star went on to explain that the comedy feels important on a deeper level. “Collaborating with [Kaling] is something I’m so excited about because this will be an all Indian, all Asian star cast and I feel like that’s also something I’m really proud of, creating opportunities for South Asian actors that work in a mainstream capacity. As a producer and as someone in the movie, it’s really something I’m looking forward to. But it’s going to be next year because we just started writing,” she said.

I don't think Priyanka meant to say that, but it's poorly worded.

It would be great to have ash in a cameo or a strong supporting role

And why should she? She doesn't owes them anything. Same people were asking for her to get removed from UN

Its her money and project. She can decide whom to cast or not.

Plus @thread maker, spicingup the titles to create fights on forum, u r really good at it👏

Haww. You have put the "NO PAKISTANI " part in the title, but omitted it in the original article 😆
