Netflix has added comedian Lilly Singh to the cast of ‘Best of the Best’, a coming-of-age film centered on competitive Bollywood dancing.
Written by Hasan Minhaj and Prashanth Venkataramanujam, ‘Best of the Best’ stars Minhaj and follows two childhood friends who join their college’s Bollywood dance team, only to find the fun quickly turns into fierce competition.
The previously announced cast—including Minhaj, ‘Never Have I Ever’ star Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, and Priyanka Kedia—will now be joined by new additions, Variety reported.
Ankur Rathee (Four More Shots Please) and Chaneil Kular (Sex Education) join the cast alongside Shreya Navile, Becky Alex, Janina Gavankar, Nihar Duvvuri, Nico Greetham, Saara Chaudry, Amryn Khurana, Tanishq Joshi, and Sasha Bhasin.
Directed by Lena Khan, who previously worked with Maitreyi Ramakrishnan on ‘Never Have I Ever’, the Netflix original will be produced by Hasan Minhaj and Prashanth Venkataramanujam under their 186k Films banner.
