The project will reunite Nanjiani with "The Big Sick" helmer Michael Showalter, who's on board to direct, reports variety.com
The project goes into production at the end of this month.
The story focuses on a couple on the verge of a break-up who become involved in a murder mystery. Tom Lassally, Olly Obst, Todd Shulman, Jordana Mollick, and Gero are producing "The Lovebirds".
