Written and produced by Jemima, the film will be Shekhar Kapur’s directorial return since his 2007 Oscar-winning production Elizabeth: The Golden Age.
According to a report by the Deadline, the film is said to be a cross-cultural rom-com revolving around love and marriage and is set between London and South Asia.
“It’s a story of identities,” reported Variety quoting Shekhar Kapur. “It’s about cultural clashes and it’s a comedy, but it’s about hiding behind an identity and how identities can become tribal, and how tribalism can lead to clashes and fundamentalism. It’s a romcom, but based on this fundamental idea of people adopting identities out of fear of marginalization.”
Joining the cast that includes Lily James, Shazad Latif and Emma Thompson are British actors Rob Brydon and Asim Chaudhry, Pakistan’s favourite Sajal Aly and veteran Indian actor Shabana Azmi.
