Unfiltered Chai with Alicia Vrajlal... and Roshan Sethi
When we got word that 'A Nice Indian Boy' was coming to Australia, Alicia just had to sit down with director Roshan Sethi for a chat. After all, it's the movie featuring Jonathan Groff singing a DDLJ song – a scene that went viral when we posted it on TikTok, calling for the movie to be screened Down Under.
The doctor turned filmmaker released his debut movie 7 Days in 2021, starring Australia’s own Geraldine Viswanathan. Now, A Nice Indian Boy is making waves across the world as a Bollywood-inspired rom-com that draws on parts of his and real-life partner Karan Soni’s life. Karan also happens to play the lead character.
This would have to be one of the most candid chats on Unfiltered Chai so far… as Roshan talks very frankly about the state of diversity in Hollywood, the pressure South Asians put on one another to represent, and also on a lighter note, what Shah Rukh Khan would say if he watched A Nice Indian Boy.
Enjoy this episode and don’t forget to check out A Nice Indian Boy, now in cinemas in Australia.
