Karan Soni Interview | A Nice Indian Boy | London Film Festival 2024 | Filme Shilmy

Описание: During the BFI London Film Festival premiere of ‘A Nice Indian Boy’, lead actor Karan Soni speaks about uplifting cultural & LGBTQIA+ representation in mainstream entertainment. Plus, he also discusses how the film is the first Hollywood one to reference Aditya Chopra’s Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge.

A Nice Indian Boy is produced by Wayfarer Studios and directed by Roshan Sethi. When Naveen (Soni) meets Jay (Jonathan Groff), a whirlwind romance quickly leads to an engagement. But there’s an issue: Naveen has yet to introduce Jay to his family, and he isn’t quite what that they were expecting. Putting a fresh queer and Indian spin on the tropes of the rom-com, the venture is a charming, warm-hearted celebration of love and acceptance.

Karan is an Indian-American actor and comedian. Often appearing in comedic roles, he came to prominence for playing Dopinder in the films Deadpool (2016) and its sequels Deadpool 2 (2018) and Deadpool & Wolverine (2024), and voicing Pavitr Prabhakar / Spider-Man India in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023).
