Storyline
One morning, Nikita’s parents drop by unannounced and she is forced to hide a lover, Jeremy, who spent the night. Her mother, Shailaja, eventually finds him out and all hell breaks loose because Nikita is very much a married woman. Anthony, her father, can’t be bothered because the cricket match is on.
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Nikita | Female 25 - 40 Years old |
Description South-Asian. She’s a certified artsy baddie who loves partying, thrifting, and her parents, but she’ll always keep them at arm’s length. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Shailaja | Female 45 - 68 Years old |
Description A typical South-Asian mother who has high expectations of her daughter. She is smart, caring, and anxiety-driven, and her family will always come first. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | Anthony | Male 45 - 70 Years old |
Description South-Asian. A jovial man with a booming voice who loves cricket and all things sweet. Note: This role has a scene with partial nudity: while sitting down on a toilet seat pulls down his pants, while Jeremy hides within the bathtub. This can be faked, just showing his thighs. Adding to the plot, and showcasing each character's trait, this comedic moment between Anthony and Jeremy is one of our main story beats with Anthony being unaware of Jeremy, and Jeremy struggling to keep hidden. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Principal | Jeremy | Male 25 - 35 Years old |
Description Caucasian. An attractive, charismatic guy who tends to stay for a good time, not a long time.Note: This role the actor will be shirtless with just a towel wrapped around him throughout the film partial nude. You can wear shorts underneath, but in the film, it will seem as if he's completely nude. This is a character-defining trait, adding to Jeremy main role as comedic relief, showing Jeremy as he's thrust into an extremely uncomfortable situation, on the short end of the stick, as he’s thrust into family drama as a unwilling 3rd wheel. | ||
