Kumail Nanjiani to Play Chippendales Founder in Hulu Limited Series - Variety
There’s been a movie in the works about this guy for awhile now. Last I heard, Dev Patel was going to play the part.Kumail Nanjiani will play Chippendales founder Somen “Steve” Banerjee in a limited series that has been ordered at Hulu, Variety has learned.
The eight-episode series is titled “Immigrant.” It will tell the true story of Banerjee, the Indian-American entrepreneur who started Chippendales. The series will detail the insane, darkly comedic, crime-ridden story behind the unique male revue that became a cultural phenomenon.
