SYDNEY, 23 January 2023: Shekhar Kapur is in Australia promoting his newly directed movie, ‘What’s love got to do with it?’. Director Shekhar Kapur famous for many movies including Masoom (1983), Mr. India (1987), Bandit Queen (1994) and Elizabeth (1998) among others, gave a candid interview to Manbir Singh Kohli, for RadioZine ‘Kethe Sunte’ 89.3FM, South Asia Times (SAT) and Euphony Films.
Kapur has a great relationship with Australian actors and has directed some of these luminaries including Cate Blanchett, Geoffrey Rush and Heath Ledger in his many international projects that have won him accolades from around the world.
The interesting conversation touches many subjects including the new movie, relationships, marriages, Bandit Queen, black-and-white versus colour movies, the actor that Kapur wishes he has directed and much more.
Kapur calls ‘What’s love got to do with it?’, releasing in Australian cinemas on 26 January 2023, as entertaining and the one that touches your heart. We can identify with many characters in the feel-good funny movie.
Short synopsis of the movie: How do you find lasting love in today’s world? For documentary-maker and dating app addict Zoe (Lily James), swiping right has only delivered an endless stream of Mr Wrongs, to her eccentric mother Cath’s (Emma Thompson) dismay.
For Zoe’s childhood friend and neighbour Kaz (Shazad Latif), the answer is to follow his parents’ example and opt for an arranged (or “assisted”) marriage to 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 profoundly different approach to finding love.
