Being described as Crazy Rich Asians meets My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Kaling and Chopra will star in the wedding comedy, that will take place in India and the US. The Mindy Project creator will also co-write the script with Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Goor, with the potential to direct as well.

The tired and happy looking trio took to Twitter in the early hours of this morning to celebrate the news, all posting the same photo.

Chopra, who recently starred in Rebel Wilson’s Netflix comedy Isn’t it Romantic, also commented on social media when Deadline first broke the news. Saying, “Two women with a passion for telling good stories, just got the green light to THEIR story THEIR way.’

Her husband, Nick Jonas also celebrated the news, reposting the same Deadline article on his feed.

The news came after a bidding war that saw not only the big studios, but also Netflix and Amazon Prime bring offers to the table.

Yesterday, Kaling also put out an open call on her social media channels for actors wanting to star in her new Netflix comedy, which starts shooting in July.

Until then, watch out for her new movie Late Night with Emma Thompson coming soon to cinemas.
