Chandrasekhar, and the film's producer Bold Films, are aiming to do an R-rated take on the body-switching genre while looking at the differences between the sexes.

Chandrasekhar is best known for directing films involving his Broken Lizard comedy troupe, including "Super Troopers" and "Beerfest." His other credits include episodes of such shows as "Chuck" and "Arrested Development."
