The film couple turning their own lives into romantic comedy
Karan Soni and Roshan Sethi's real-life love story inspired their film A Nice Indian Boy. The success of this Hollywood rom-com has healed many family rifts on the way.
Karan Soni and Roshan Sethi are a couple whose real-life love story inspired their film A Nice Indian Boy. The effect is a movie that mixes Hollywood and Bollywood, and which has transformed many of their own family relationships.
Karan Soni is famous for playing supporting roles in films like Deadpool & Wolverine, but A Nice Indian Boy has turned him into a leading man alongside musical theatre star Jonathan Groff, of Hamilton and Frozen fame.
Roshan Sethi is the film's director, he's an oncologist turned scriptwriter who didn't come out until the age of 30. He never imagined that his breakthrough movie would be about a gay Indian-American doctor finding love, starring his real-life partner Karan. A Nice Indian Boy will be in cinemas later this year.聽聽聽
