Wide Release of Shekhar Kapur's Cross-cultural Romantic Film

This weekend, 630 locations in the UK and Ireland will open Shekhar Kapur’s romantic comedy film “What’s Love Got To Do With It?

Studiocanal UK-Ireland opening to-date.

This film, which was first shown at the Toronto Film Festival in September 2020, tells the story of Kazim and Zoe, a young Pakistani-British man and his childhood friend- a filmmaker, who both find themselves in the midst of an arranged marriage.

Featuring an impressive cast including Shazad Latif, Lily James, Emma Thompson, Asim Chaudhry, and Sajal Aly, viewers will embark on a journey following the couple as they confront the realities of a cross-cultural relationship.

Kapur, an acclaimed Indian filmmaker, hopes to achieve success with this, his ninth directorial feature, and first since 2007’s Elizabeth: The Golden Age. Others at the box office this weekend include Cocaine Bear, a crime-thriller directed by Elizabeth Banks, Joyland, a film banned in Pakistan which has been entered for the 2023 Oscars, and Broker, which blends cinema and contemporary dance.

Additionally, Bollywood action-comedy Selfiee and concert film Boy George And The Culture Club – One World, One Love will open to cinemas.

Popular Marvel title Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania along with Puss in Boots: The Last Wish and Avatar: The Way Of Water are also on release this weekend and will look to buck the trend of Marvel titles dwindling after their initial release.
