Brooklyn Nine Nine star Andy Samberg has donned the role of a photojournalist in the upcoming World War II film, Lee. The actor will be seen alongside Kate Winslet, who will portray the role of a war photographer, Lee Miller.

For the fans of Samberg, it would be a treat to watch the actor play a role outside of his comfort genre, comedy. For eight years, the actor had been a part of the popular sitcom and has also made the audience laugh through his sketches performed at the SNL, and hence, agreeing with the character, Samberg claimed that he was hesitant initially. 

Ahead of the movie release, the Palm Springs actor sat down for a conversation with Digital Spy, where he shared the insights of his role in the film and how Winslet intimidated the Hollywood star to take up the role.

Speaking of his role, Samberg said, “There was hesitation.” He further revealed, “I heard Kate Winslet was interested in me playing a part in a movie she was making, so I immediately said yes.”

Samberg will portray the role of David Sherman, and for the actor to get onboard, the Titanic actress personally conversed with the comedian and claimed that he looked quite similar to the person his character is based on.

Abhay Verma and Sharvari starred together in the horror-comedy movie Munjya. While the film didn’t do great business after its theatrical release, it became a sleeper hit soon after it was available on OTT. Since then, the film has been receiving immense love from fans. As the team celebrated the success, the actor expressed his delight in working with the Vedaa actress and referred to her as ‘Tani partner’ to his ‘Suri pappe’ from the film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. 

Munjya stars Abhay Verma and Sharvari recently celebrated the success of their comic caper’s biggest TV Premiere of 2024. The actor took to his Instagram stories and reposted images from the bash. The first image shows both of them stylishly posing together. Abhay expressed his gratitude to the audience, saying, “Love you all for making Munjya’s premiere the biggest.” In the following image, both can be seen having fun during the photo-op. This is when he wrote, “Tani partner to my Suri pappe (red heart emoji) @sharvari.”

In the third image, the entire team gathered to cut the celebratory cake. He captioned the image, “This definitely felt more than cutting my birthday cake.” Lastly, they all hugged each other at the private celebration.
