The news of Priyanka Chopra producing a comedy series with ABC, reportedly on the life of Madhuri Dixit, has got the internet buzzing. While it is a huge step for the actress in her career as producer, the series also opens up new opportunites for actors of Indian origin in the US. From Kunal Nayyar to Kal Penn, actors are lining up to give Chopra their headshots on Twitter.
While Chopra's series revolves around the life of an actress, it mattered little to actor Kunal Nayyar, who tweeted her for an audition chance. The actor, who made his name as Raj Koothrappali on the long-running comedy series 'The Big Bang Theory', wrote 'In case you need a beautiful heroine @priyankachopra I'm available!'
Chopra and Madhuri Dixit will be executive producers on the show, which is being written by Sri Rao. Rao, who last wrote the screenplay Baar Baar Dekho (2016), announced the project's official status on Saturday, 29 July.
