London-born actor Kunal Nayyar will play the protagonist in a film titled 3 ½. A project to be directed by Sooni Taraporevala, who earlier directed Little Zizou in 2008 and to be produced by renowned film-maker, Mira Nair, the film is likely to take off in April 2015.
“Both Mira and I are very excited, and thrilled to work with Kunal as he is an actor of international calibre,” said Taraporevala of the British Indian actor, known for his role as Dr. Rajesh Koothrappali in the CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory.
3 ½ is based on reality and is an exciting story. It took me three years to put the idea together. Both Mira and I are known for telling very deeply-rooted Indian stories, and narrating them in a way that international audiences embrace them. 3 ½ is an unconventional love story which turns into a thriller, and is set in both the present and the future,” said the director who has earlier teamed with Nayyar in acclaimed films like The Namesake, Mississipi Masala and Salaam Bombay. One more hero and heroine are to be cast for the film which will be shot in India.
When quizzed about the unusual title, Taraporevala refused to give details.
