A Story of Self-Discovery with a South Asian Twist
Doin’ It isn’t just another coming-of-age comedy. It features Singh as a sheltered, 30-year-old Indian American virgin named Pria who unexpectedly lands a job teaching high school sex education. This hilarious premise promises a fresh perspective on sex education, navigating the awkwardness and humor of self-discovery through a South Asian lens.
Breaking New Ground
The film isn’t just a win for Singh; it’s a significant moment for South Asian representation in Hollywood. Doin’ It is produced by Camelback Productions, the first female and South Asian-owned film production company in Arizona, founded by Anita Verma-Lallian. This collaboration highlights the growing presence of South Asian voices in the film industry, paving the way for more diverse stories to be told.
The excitement surrounding Doin’ It extends beyond the red carpet. SXSW will also host a panel titled “Manifesting Mainstream South Asian Stories,” featuring Singh and Verma-Lallian. This discussion promises to delve into the challenges and triumphs of bringing South Asian stories to the forefront of American cinema.
The Creative Team Behind Doin’ It:
The film boasts a talented team beyond Singh. The director’s chair is filled by Sara Zandieh, who previously helmed the film “The Other Zoey.” The screenplay is a collaborative effort between Singh, Zandieh, and Neel Patel.
Singh isn’t going it alone on screen. Doin’ It features a stellar supporting cast, including established comedic actors like Ana Gasteyer (Mean Girls) and Stephanie Beatriz (Brooklyn Nine-Nine). The film also showcases rising talents like Sabrina Jalees (Search Party) and Utkarsh Ambudkar (Never Have I Ever).
Doin’ It is more than just a comedy; it’s a cultural milestone. It’s the story of a talented YouTuber taking a leap of faith, a celebration of South Asian storytelling, and a hilarious exploration of self-discovery. With its world premiere at SXSW, Doin’ It is poised to be a must-see film for fans of Singh and anyone who enjoys a good laugh with a touch of cultural significance.

I wanted a change in life. After doing music videos back-to-back, I wanted to break the monotony and do something different. I wanted people to see my real self and nothing is better than participating in Bigg Boss. Also, I think I am fit for the show – for being real and not fake.
How are you as a person?

How do you plan to utilize money and fame post Bigg Boss?
I see myself writing and singing songs in the near future. I would like to invest my Bigg Boss money in building a stronger career. As for fame, I am not too desperate to stay in the news.
