'Who Would Have Known!' The Story Behind How Aziz Ansari’s 'Master Of None' Accidentally Foreshadowed Working With Keanu Reeves On 'Good Fortune'

Cinema Blend

Aziz Ansari is making his directorial debut with the new film, "Good Fortune," and he assembled a strong cast for this 2025 movie release. Joining Ansari in the movie are Seth Rogen, Keke Palmer, Sandra Oh and Keanu Reeves. Before collaborating with his castmates, Ansari admired the work each of them did. However, previous comments made by the comedian suggest he was particularly starstruck by Reeves. It seems their collaboration was actually foreshadowed as well, as Ansari explained to CinemaBlend.  There have certainly been instances in which TV shows have unintentionally predicted real-life events. ("The Simpsons," anyone?) When it comes to Ansari and Reeves working together, it seems that was accidentally predicted in some way by the former’s show, "Master of None." Ansari caught up with CinemaBlend’s Jeff McCobb to discuss "Good Fortune," and "MoN" came up as well. After discussing a specific Season 2 episode from the show, Ansari shared the story behind a very interesting detail.
