As they try to get him into private schools in New York, they discover they cannot afford the fees of these institutions. A part of  what makes Jake special is that he prefers Cinderella to GI Joe is a ‘gender-variant’, a fact which the couple uses to try and apply for school scholarships.  Jim Parsons will play Greg and Claire Danes will play Alex. Chopra will portray Amal, their friend and a newly single mom who is also trying to navigate the school system along with her love life. Chopra is also scheduled to begin shooting for the third installment of her hit TV show Quantico soon. No official dates have been announced so far, but it is speculated that she will commence her Quantico shooting schedule from either July or August this month, as per a report by Filmfare.
