Actress Mindy Kaling has finished writing her first feature film.

The 37-year-old "Mindy Project" star made the revelation at Hulu's Television Critics Association press day, reported ET online.

"I just finished writing a movie. I don't have a name for it. I'm bad at naming things, that's why my show is called 'The Mindy Project'," she said.

The movie is completely different from the writer's TV show which is a romantic comedy.

"I always thought the first thing I'd do (for the big screen) was a romantic comedy and what I realized was we write that so much on (The Mindy Project) that I kind of decided that, you know what, I'm going to save that stuff for the show and this is about something completely different," she said.
 

The story is set in New York and Mindy will be playing a small part in it.

"I have a small part in it. It's inspired by movies I love, like Broadcast News," she said.
