Sandra Oh expressed her desire to portray Vice Principal Gupta in Princess Diaries 3

In 2001's The Princess Diaries, Oh played the cut-throat vice principal at Mia Thermopolis's school. Mia Thermopolis, played by Anne Hathaway, was a shy teenager from San Francisco. One day, she learned that she was next in line for the crown of a fictional European country named Genovia.

The film has an iconic scene where Vice Principal Gupta received a call ahead of the queen's arrival after the news of Mia Thermopolis's ancestry got leaked to the press.

In the EW interview, Sandra Oh was asked why her character became legendary over the years, she said that she didn't have the slightest clue.

She said,

"I have no idea!. I feel it's like your generation that hit when you were all very young. I remember it was like 2015, I was walking down the street in Chicago, and there [was] a young person, who at that point in 2015, was not my usual demographic, which was like a college-aged, straight white guy. He passed me and then he ran back up to me and did the line: 'Uh huh. Uh huh. Uh huh. The Queen is coming."

She continued,

"I was like, 'Who is this 20-year-old frat boy?' He was coming up to me doing that line."

Anne Hathaway is also excited about the third instalment of The Princess Diaries. In an earlier interview with PEOPLE, she said,

"I know it's probably very frustrating. It's a process that requires patience, and so everybody should consider themselves a part of the movie business now, because this is how long it actually takes to make things."
