Seth Rogen has joined the cast of actor-comic Aziz Ansari’s directorial debut film.
The untitled comedic drama has been set up at Searchlight Pictures and Ansari will also co-star in it with ‘Ghostbusters’ veteran Bill Murray.
Ansari, who created the Netflix series ‘Master of None’, will also write the screenplay and produce the movie slated to be released theatrically in 2023, PTI reported from Washington.
The film is billed as a screen adaptation of the 2014 nonfiction book ‘Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End’.
Penned by Atul Gawande, Youree Henley will co-produce the film with Ansari. The project will start filming in April.
Seth recently starred in the Hulu series ‘Pam & Tommy’, co-starring Sebastian Stan and Lily James. He will next be seen in filmmaker Steven Spielberg’s ‘The Fabelmans’.
