Meera Syal (BBC)
Brits Ricky Gervais and Sacha Baron Cohen have made the journey.
And now it might just be [1] Meera Syal’s time.
The actress and author is in talks to bring her enormously popular BBC comedy chat show, [2] The Kumars at No. 42 ,to American television viewers.
“There’s interest from America and we are in talks,” [3] Syal told reporters earlier this month. “It’s early stages and so much depends on the budget … I’d be really interested. Can you imagine, the Kumars interviewing Sylvester Stallone and Nicole Kidman? I think it would be hilarious.”
Syal’s previous projects include the (instant classic) film [4] Bhaji on the Beach and Broadway’s hugely successful [5] Bombay Dreams . She can next be seen in [6] Ayub Khan-Din’s latest Rafta Rafta—a play about newlyweds who move in with the ‘rents and, er, have trouble consummating their union.
[7] Rafta Rafta [8] opens this Friday, April 26, at the [9] National Theatre in London.
