Kumail Nanjiani on board for ‘Any Person, Living or Dead’

Pakistani-American star Kumail Nanjiani after making waves with his Oscar-nominated The Big Sick is buckling up to hop on board new projects and if reports are to be believed, he has added “Any Person, Living or Dead” to the list.

Variety reported that the 41-year-old Silicon Valley star has now been roped in for the famed Simon Rich short story that is getting an adapted into a feature film by Jonathan Krisel.

The story revolves around an isolated scientist who with the creation of his time machine manages to gather history’s most legendary figures including William Shakespeare, George Washington, Aristotle and many others in the hopes of alleviating the problems faced by humanity in the present world but encounters additional problems that were not part of his initial equation as conflicts of language, prehistoric racism and primitive inclinations of bloodshed come to the rise.

Apart from this, rumor has it that the actor will also be joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) alongside Angelina Jolie for The Eternals.
