According to entertainment news outlet Deadline, the filmmaker will co-write the script with Paul Mayeda, who earlier worked with Chadha on her 2017 directorial "Viceroy's House".

The filmmaker, also known for movies such as "Bhaji on the Beach" and "Bride and Prejudice", will produce the project alongside Lindy Goldstein of the Lindy Goldstein Production banner.
