Indian-American actor comedian Aziz Ansari has been named "The Next Big Thing" among 17 stars to watch by the US business magazine Forbes. Funny People grossed $70 million at the global box office last year. The film introduced the world to the foul-mouthed standup comic Raaaaaaaandy, a creation of comic Aziz Ansari, 27, whose parents emigrated from Tamil Nadu. The gig earned him a three-picture deal with Apatow and GE’s Universal Pictures. Ansari also co-stars on the NBC comedy Parks and Recreation, where he plays wannabe ladies man Tom Haverford. Ansari recently hosted the MTV Movie Awards, holding his own with performers like Tom Cruise and Sandra Bullock. — IANS Indian-American actor Aziz Ansari has been named “The Next Big Thing” by Forbes
