Gay Rom-Com ‘A Nice Indian Boy’ Unites ‘Deadpool’s’ Karan Soni, Jonathan Groff and Roshan Sethi: ‘Everyone Was Turned On’
Naman Ramachandran Jonathan Groff singing Bollywood tunes is the centerpiece of “A Nice Indian Boy,” a groundbreaking gay rom-com that’s heating up the BFI London Film Festival. Director Roshan Sethi and stars Groff (“Mindhunter,” “Glee,” “Doctor Who”) and Karan Soni (the “Deadpool” franchise) are challenging Hollywood norms with their cross-cultural love story, which debuted at SXSW. It aims to bring a fresh perspective to both LGBTQ+ and South Asian representation on screen.
