Nayyar will discuss his career beginnings, his path to stardom on American television’s popular comedy, and to advise the next generation of artistes on how to gain a foothold in a competitive industry.

The masterclass will be presented with support from the India Center Foundation and will take place on April 12.

Director Karthik Subbaraj’s forthcoming silent thriller Mercury focuses on five long-time friends, all of whom are maimed as a result of their town’s mercury poisoning, who come together for their high school reunion. But a moment of mischief and misfortune during the after-party puts them on a one-way road to hell.
