I ndian American actor-director Jay Chandrasekhar's films usually deal with young men indulging in beer drinking, pot smoking, a lot of dirty jokes and nudity. All of this appeals to the films' target audience: college students.

Most of the films are a part of the Broken Lizard comedy group, which came about during the years Jay and his friends were attending Colgate University. Five of the friends became a part of the stand-up comedy group, making popular films like Super Troopers, The Dukes of Hazzard and Beer Fest.

Chandrasekhar's latest film, The Babymakers, opens in theatres in the US on August 3. It is a not a Broken Lizard project, but he does collaborate with one of his comedy teammates Kevin Heffernan, who acts in the film and is also is its executive producer.

The Babymakers is a story about a couple (played by Olivia Munn and Paul Schneider) who are finding it hard to conceive, until the husband decides to rob a sperm bank where he had made deposits before he was married.

The film has all the hallmarks of the Broken Lizard inspired humour. Plus, 44-year-old Chandrasekhar casts himself as a bumbling Indian tough guy.

Chandrasekhar and Heffernan spoke to Aseem Chhabra in New York, and told him more about the film.

Jay, I am impressed that you kept your last name. In Hollywood, someone else would have shortened that name.

Chandrasekhar: I would never change it. Do you know what my full name is and what it means? My name is Jayanth Jambulingam Chandrasekhar, which means victorious large penis rising moon. It's a family name. My father, grandfather all had the name. Someone in the family had a sense of humour. When I was 24, I asked my mother if that is what my name means and she said 'Well, technically yes.' Sadly, I was quite old by them.
