India-West had earlier reported that the new NBC comedy by Indian American actress Mindy Kaling and “The Mindy Project’s” Charlie Grandy, “Champions,” will feature Indian American actor Hasan Minhaj. Kaling dropped the trailer of the new show on Instagram Jan. 31 and we spotted another Indian American talent: Mouzam Makkar.
Makkar has won a series regular role on the show, written by Grandy and Kaling, which centers on Vince, played by Anders Holm, who is living every bachelor’s dream. He owns the fifth largest gym in Brooklyn, dates an endless string of beautiful women, and lives with his dumb, lovable brother Matthew, portrayed by Andy Favreau. But Vince’s simple life gets complicated fast when his high school fling, Priya (Kaling), unexpectedly drops off their 15-year-old son, Michael, so he can attend a city school for super-talented kids.
