Set to release in cinemas worldwide in 2022, What’s Love Got To Do With It? is about finding lasting love in today’s world. It stars Lily James as a documentary filmmaker for whom swiping right to find Mr Right has only delivered bad dates and funny anecdotes, much to her opinionated mother Cath’s (Emma Thompson) dismay. For her childhood friend and neighbour Kazim (Shazad Latif), the answer is to follow his parents’ example and opt for an assisted marriage with 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 different approach to finding love. The film produced by Jemima Khan and directed by Shekhar Kapur, also stars Sajal Aly, Shabana Azmi, comedian Asim Chaudhry, Mim Shaikh, Jeff Mirza (from Eternals), Iman Boujelouah, Mariam Haque (from Homeland) and comedian Sindhu Vee.

British-Pakistani record producer, DJ, songwriter, and musician Naughty Boy will bring his production and writing skills to the film, collaborating on new, original, recordings. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has also recorded two songs for the soundtrack and will appear in the film itself.
