The upcoming gay rom-com A Nice Indian Boy has a seemingly familiar hook: Naveen Gavaskar (Deadpool‘s Karan Soni) is anxious about introducing his fiancé to his traditional Indian family.

Jonathan Groff plays the man in question, Jay Kurundkar, whose last name is attributed to the fact that he was adopted by Indian parents and raised in India. His understanding of their cultural customs leaves the Gavaskar family stunned.
