The entertainment outlet reports Sahar Jahani will write the script, while Kaling and Jessica Kumai Scott will produce via Kaling International. The adaptation was first reported by Variety. It’s a story Jalaluddin says was inspired by the classic romantic comedy “You’ve Got Mail.” Her 2021 novel follows Hana, a waitress at a halal restaurant whose business is threatened when a newer, more upscale halal place opens up nearby in her close-knit Toronto neighbourhood.Ī family secret, a hate-motivated attack on the neighbourhood and a crush for the rival restaurant’s young owner all put the reader in the whirlwind that is Hana’s life. Jalaluddin is the author of a culture and parenting column at the Star. Speaking to the Star Wednesday, Jalaluddin said she’s “still pinching herself” over the news. Actor and producer Mindy Kaling and Amazon are adapting the Toronto novel “ Hana Khan Carries On” by Star columnist Uzma Jalaluddin into a new film.
