‘A Nice Indian Boy’: Why Levantine Films Believes the Queer Indie Rom-Com Has the Potential to Pop in Theaters
Levantine Films is betting big on their queer rom-com "A Nice Indian Boy" with a theatrical release.
The film stars “Deadpool” actor Karan Soni as an Indian man who brings his white-orphan-artist boyfriend (played by Tony and Grammy winner Jonathan Groff) home to his traditional family. Levantine, the New York-based indie production and financing company behind awards darlings like “Hidden Figures” and “Beasts of No Nation,” along with crowd-pleasers like “Blinded by the Light” and “Jerry and Marge Go Large,” enlisted Justin Baldoni’s Wayfarer Studios to co-finance the film. In our upcoming slate, we have a few different genres: an action-adventure film; a sci-fi thriller TV series that is going onto the market very soon; and a vampire comic book TV series that’s a little “White Lotus” meets “Emily in Paris.” Next up, we have “Poetic License,” Maude Apatow’s directorial debut, that stars Leslie Mann, Cooper Hoffman and Andrew Barth Feldman.
