FILM | SHEKHAR KAPUR AND JEMIMA KHAN’S ‘WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT?’ FIRST LOOK!

WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT? is set to be released in UK cinemas in 2022.

STU­DI­OCANAL and Work­ing Title Films today release a first look image from cross-cul­tur­al Brit­ish rom-com WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT?, dir­ec­ted by Shekhar Kapur (ELIZA­BETH) and writ­ten by Jemima Khan.

Brit­ish-Pakistani record pro­du­cer, DJ, song­writer, and musi­cian Naughty Boy will bring his pro­duc­tion and writ­ing skills to the film, col­lab­or­at­ing on new, ori­gin­al, record­ings. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has also recor­ded two songs for the soundtrack and will appear in the film itself.

The film is pro­duced by Jemima Khan (THE CLIN­TON AFFAIR, THE CASE AGAINST ADNAN SYED, WE STEAL SECRETS: THE STORY OF WIKILEAKS) & her Instinct Pro­duc­tions with pro­du­cer Nicky Kentish Barnes (ABOUT TIME, ABOUT A BOY) along­side Work­ing Title Films’ Eric Fell­ner and Tim Bevan.

How do you find last­ing love in today’s world? For doc­u­ment­ary film­maker Zoe (Lily James), swip­ing right to find Mr Right has only delivered bad dates and funny anec­dotes, much to her opin­ion­ated moth­er Cath’s (Emma Thompson) dis­may. For her child­hood friend and neigh­bour Kazim (Shazad Latif), the answer is to fol­low his par­ents’ example and opt for an assisted mar­riage with a bright and beau­ti­ful bride from Pakistan. As Zoe films his hope­ful jour­ney from Lon­don to Lahore to marry a stranger, chosen by his par­ents, she begins to won­der if she might have some­thing to learn from a dif­fer­ent approach to find­ing love.

STU­DI­OCANAL is fully fin­an­cing and will release in their own ter­rit­or­ies – the UK, France, Ger­many, Aus­tralia & New Zea­l­and – and are selling the film world­wide.

Set to release in cinemas world­wide 2022, WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT? stars Lily James (BABY DRIVER, DARKEST HOUR, MAMMA MIA! HERE WE GO AGAIN, REBECCA), Shazad Latif (STAR TREK: DIS­COV­ERY, PENNY DREAD­FUL, THE SECOND BEST EXOT­IC MARIGOLD HOTEL), Emma Thompson (BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, BRID­GET JONES’S BABY, SAV­ING MR BANKS), Sajal Aly (ZINDAGI KITNI HASEEN HAY, MOM), Shabana Azmi (ARTH, KHAND­HAR, PAAR, GOD­MOTH­ER), Asim Chaudhry (BLACK MIR­ROR: BANDER­SNATCH, PEOPLE JUST DO NOTH­ING, THE ELEC­TRIC­AL LIFE OF LOUIS WAIN), Mim Shaikh (FREE­HOLD, INFORM­ER) Jeff Mirza (ETERN­ALS, BLINDED BY THE LIGHT), Iman Boujel­ou­ah, Mari­am Haque (FIND­ING ALICE, HOME­LAND, FLOWERS) and Sindhu Vee (STAR­STRUCK, FEEL GOOD).
