Kumail Nanjiani’s Culture-Clash Comedy
His standup comedy and his new movie, “The Big Sick,” offer portrayals of secular Muslims that American audiences rarely see.
Hasnain says:
This is a great read. Also looking forward to the movie after hearing rad reviews and seeing the trailer.
"On “Silicon Valley,” for example, Nanjiani’s character fulfills some stereotypes and subverts others. He is unfashionable but insists on wearing a gold chain, for which he is roundly mocked; he’s a naturalized American citizen whose nemesis, a white coder from Canada, is an undocumented immigrant. “That chain idea came directly from Kumail’s life,” Alec Berg, a co-showrunner of “Silicon Valley,” told me. “So did the details of what it’s like to apply for an American visa. It’s such a luxury, when you’re trying to write a character that feels grounded in reality, to be able to avoid drawing on stereotypes and instead just take Kumail out to lunch and say, ‘Tell me about your life.’ ”"
