Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur’s romantic comedy What’s Love Got to Do with It? has earned nine nominations at the British National Film awards. Written by Jemima Khan and produced by StudioCanal and Working Title, the romantic-comedy stars Lily James, Shazad Latif, Shabana Azmi, Sajal Aly, Asim Chaudhry and Academy Award winner Emma Thompson.
The romantic comedy has received nominations for Best Actress (Lily James), Best Supporting Actor (Ashim Chowdhury), Best Supporting Actress (Emma Thompson), Best Screenplay (Jemima Khan), Best Producer (Nicky Kentish Barnes, Tim Bevan, Eric Fellner & Jemima Khan), Best British Film, Best Comedy and Best Independent Film categories.
The film is a story sliding between London and Lahore, love and friendship, tradition and iconoclasm. What’s Love Got to Do with It? is a cross-cultural British romantic comedy that follows a documentary-maker and dating app addict Zoe (Lily James), for whom, swiping right has only delivered an endless stream of Mr Wrongs, much 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.
The film was released in February 2023 in the UK and in March 2023 in India.
