Written by Emily V. Gordon & Kumail Nanjiani
Real-life husband and wife Emily V. Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani (Silicon Valley) is loosely based on their real-life courtship before their marriage in 2007. The concept of writing a script about their story was inspired by the film’s eventual co-producer Judd Apatow when he and Kumail met while appearing together in an episode of the You Made It Weird podcast. The script was developed over the course of three years and is referred to as semi-autobiographical due to the fact that while the two lead characters were modeled after them and their story, certain story elements were altered or outright conjured for the sake of the narrative.
