Sabrina Dhawan, the writer of the hit Indian comedy Monsoon Wedding, has inked a deal to pen a comedy pilot for HBO, with Brad Grey TV on board to produce. Described as a darkly comic look at what it means to be American, the project, now in early stages of development, will explore the lives of Indian immigrant families as they transition from first-generation to second-generation Americans. In addition to the Mira Nair-directed Monsoon Wedding, Dhawan's credits also include the feature Saanjh -- As Night Falls, the Indian segment in the 11'09'01 -- September 11 international film project and PBS' Cosmopolitan. She recently adapted Manil Suri's novel The Death of Vishnu for Arena Pictures and is finishing her latest project for Killer Films, based on an original pitch. Dhawan has also been approached to write the Broadway musical version of Monsoon Wedding. She is repped by Brillstein-Grey's Jai Khanna and attorney James Adams.
