Nanjiani to play Chippendables founder in Hulu series

Recent MCU alum Kumail Nanjiani, star of the upcoming “The Eternals”, will star as Chippendales founder Somen “Steve” Banerjee in a limited series that has been ordered at Hulu.

Per Variety, eight-episode series “Immigrant” tells ”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.”

Robert Siegel wrote the series.
