Motion Picture Group head Joe Drake said, "We have indeed found good fortune with this film. We love the script and believe strongly in Aziz as both a performer and a director. And when you add in Seth and Keanu - two incredible world-class talents - toplining alongside Aziz, this has the potential to be a very special film for us. We moved quickly to land this project once it was available.”
Good Fortune is Ansari’s second attempt at making his directorial debut. He was previously working on the comedy drama Being Mortal which was infinitely suspended over complaints about actor Bill Murray’s inappropriate behaviour on the sets.
