Shabana Azmi And Shekhar Kapur Reunite After 38 Years

The  great Shabana Azmi was  the leading lady in  Shekhar Kapur’s first directorial Masoom in 1983. In spite of their  terrific personal and professional rapport they never reunited in any of Kapur’s subsequent films.

That’s changed  now. Shabana Azmi is  currently  shooting in London for Shekhar Kapur’s  British rom-com What’s Love Got To Do With It where she plays  the romantic lead  Shazad Latif’s mother. The  popular British  actress Lily James  plays the romantic female lead while the legendary  Emma Thompson plays Lily’s  mother.

While we look forward  to confrontational moments  between Shabana  and  Emma , we can happily tell you that the two the  two legendary actresses  get along like  a house on  fire on location in London.

“Shabana  is  a naturally curious creature while Emma  has a  thousand  queries about India and  Indian cinema. They spend a  lot of  off-set time in intellectual discussions,” informs a source.

Shekhar has never worked with any  of  cast members  before, except Shabana.
