Kumail Nanjiani has landed his next project.
Multiple outlets confirm that The Big Sick star has been cast in The Independent. According to Variety, he will portray a journalist who uncovers a conspiracy, which places the fate of the election in his hands with America’s first viable independent presidential candidate poised for victory.
The project hails from Emmy-nominated documentary filmmaker Amy Rice, and scribe Evan Parter. The Exchange will introduce the political thriller to buyers at the European Film Market in Berlin.
“Kumail is a great actor with global recognition and he serves as the cornerstone for an incredible ensemble cast that we are excited to announce shortly,” said Brian O’Shea of The Exchange.
You can see Nanjiani next in Marvel’s The Eternals.
