Kumail Nanjiani known for The Big Sick and Stuber is an Oscar and Emmy-nominated writer, comedian and critically acclaimed actor. The artist made his way into the Ghostbuster franchise with the recent installation Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire and played the role of Nadeem.
Talking about his character, he said, “What’s great about Nadeem is that he encompasses what makes Ghostbusters special, he’s a slacker. He’s completely discounted by everyone around him. And he’s the only one who can tackle this big, terrifying demon who can scare people to death just by looking at them.” The actor even went on to explain why he loves his character so much and said, “That’s what I love – he’s a very grounded, normal character. Some might call him a loser, and he doesn’t like it, but can’t deny it. And then suddenly he has to defeat this massive demon.” In the film, Kumail will be seen facing off with some of the bigger ghosts.
The film is directed by Gil Kenan and also stars Paul Rudd, Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard and Mckenna Grace in pivotal roles. The plot of the film revolves around the Spengler family returning to the iconic New York City firehouse where the original Ghostbusters took ghost-busting to the next level. The discovery of an ancient artefact leads to the union of new and old Ghostbusters so that they can protect their home and save the world from a second ice age.
The film was released in the US on March 22 and is all set to hit the Indian cinemas on April 26. Check out the film’s trailer:
