A first look at new movie India Sweets and Spices starring Uncharted's Sophia Ali and Ms Marvel's Rish Shah has been unveiled.

The upcoming rom-com and family drama follows Ali's character Alia, who challenges her family's elitist lifestyle when she returns home from university, though family secrets begin to surface when she brings home the son of a local shopkeeper (Shah).

The first trailer gives a taste of what's to come, with plenty of comedy and awkward family interactions in store for the characters.

India Sweets and Spices has been written and directed by Shameless' Geeta Malik, and counts Crazy Rich Asians' John Penotti among its producers.

The movie also stars Life of Pi's Adil Hussain, Bombay's Manisha Koirala and Little Fires Everywhere's Deepti Gupta.

UK fans will be able to catch the movie just in time for Christmas, with the film released on December 2 in cinemas across the country.

Ali played the role of Chloe Frazer in Uncharted earlier this year opposite Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg, and has appeared on Grey's Anatomy as Dr Dahlia Qadri between 2017 and 2019.

Shah, meanwhile, played the role of Kamran in Ms Marvel this year, and previously appeared on British TV screens in Emmerdale as Kirin Kotecha in 2020, taking over the role from Adam Fielding for a short stint.

Speaking at the time about taking on the role, he told Digital Spy and other media: "It's really exciting, as you can imagine. It's always nerve-wracking stepping into the shoes of another actor."

India Sweets and Spices will be released in UK cinemas on December 2.
