Priyanka Chopra and Mindy Kaling are teaming up for a wedding comedy and that will be shot across the US and India, possibly in Delhi and Rajasthan. Now, according to reports Priyanka has hired three agencies to cast 20 Indian actors for supporting roles in the film.

An actor, auditioning for a part, revealed, "Since the film is a cross-cultural comedy, it requires characters that depict the diversity of India. The story has been written such that they are not cardboard characters; instead it delves deep into the ethnicity of each character. There are few key roles for which they are essentially seeking Tamil actors."
