Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon, the duo behind 2017's "The Big Sick," confirmed to Variety that they've written a new romantic comedy script.
On the Emmys red carpet with Variety’s Marc Malkin, the duo confirmed they were working on a new project together: “We’ve written a movie,” Nanjiani said, which Gordon then elaborated on, “We wrote a script that we’re looking to make.” Married in real life, Nanjiani and Gordon worked together on 2017’s “The Big Sick,” which follows the pair’s real-life love story. Nanjiani is nominated for an Emmy for outstanding lead actor in a limited or anthology series or movie for his performance as Somen “Steve” Banerjee “Welcome to Chippendales.” Coming up, he stars in “Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire” and in James L. Brooks’ anticipated directorial return, a film about an idealistic, young politician.
