MUMBAI: Principal photography has begun the comedy 21 and Over, starring Miles Teller, Justin Chon, Skylar Astin and Sarah Wright. Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, writers of The Hangover and The Change Up, will direct from their screenplay.

21 and Over is produced by Mandeville Films’ David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman, in association with Sir Richard Branson’s Virgin Produced (Limitless). Relativity Media will release the comedy in which two childhood friends drag their straight-arrow buddy out to celebrate his 21st birthday the night before an all-important medical school interview. But when one beer leads to another, the evening spirals into a wild epic misadventure of debauchery and mayhem that none of them will ever forget.

Rounding out the cast are François Chau, Jonathan Keltz, Daniel Booko and Dustin Ybarra.

“Scott and I couldn’t be more excited about directing our first movie, and are grateful to Relativity for giving us this amazing opportunity. If the movie isn’t awesome, it’s Scott’s fault,” said Lucas on behalf of both directors.

Collaborating with Lucas and Moore behind the scenes is a creative team including: director of photography Terry Stacey, production designer Jerry Fleming, editor John Refoua, casting director Nancy Nayor and costume designer Christine Wada. The 29-day shoot will take place in Seattle, Washington.
