Bringing together a stellar cast for What’s Love Got To Do With It, director Shekhar Kapur says Azmi’s disciplined approach perfectly offset Thompson’s spontaneity

One might be tempted to label What’s Love Got To Do With It? as a classic rom-com. But director Shekhar Kapur doesn’t quite think so. “The film asks questions about what love is, where it comes from, [and the role of] family in the modern-day existence,” begins the director. For the cross-cultural love story that travels from London to Lahore, he has brought together a stellar cast, comprising Shabana Azmi, Emma Thompson, Lily James, Sajal Aly and Shazad Latif.
