‘A Nice Indian Boy’s Jonathan Groff & Karan Soni On Why Bollywood “Feels So Gay” & The “Really F—ing Special” Behind-The-Scenes Love Story
Ahead of the release of 'A Nice Indian Boy', now playing, stars Jonathan Groff and Karan Soni spoke to Deadline about the gay romantic-comedy.
Based on Madhuri Shekar’s play, A Nice Indian Boy stars Soni as Naveen Gavaskar, a gay Indian-American doctor who has never brought a boyfriend home, despite his parents and sister’s outward acceptance of him. With Soni’s real-life partner Roshan Sethi in the director’s chair, Jonathan Groff was just as moved by the behind-the-scenes romance as his character’s love story. Written for the screen by Eric Randall, the feature adaptation is steeped with Bollywood references, including an awkward Groff singalong in the street, a big wedding dance number and a sweet tribute to Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, a 1995 romantic-comedy that links the couple.
