Kaling serves as a co-writer for the project alongside Brent Forrester. "The Mindy Project" creator is also expected to take a supporting role, while Hathaway is poised to tackle the lead role, said the Hollywood Reporter.
The story revolves around a woman whose lack of self-worth has limited her choice in men to losers. She almost hits the bottom of the barrel when life gives her an unexpected turn as a hottest guy ever suddenly pursues her.
Hathaway has starred in a number of popular rom-com flicks, such as "The Devil Wears Prada", "Bride Wars", "Valentine's Day" and "Love and Other Drugs".
She's most recently turned into action mode when starring as Catwoman in Christopher Nolan's last Batman film. She will next be seen in much-awaited musical drama "Les Miserables".
