Los Angeles [US], November 20 (ANI): Amazon MGM Studios has picked up 'Compulsive Liar', a comedy project from Academy Award-nominated The Big Sick writers Emily V Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani. Nanjiani, known for Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire and Eternals, is set to star, with 21 Laps and Gaumont on board as producers.
