Billed as a cross-cultural romantic-comedy, 'What's Love Got To Do With It?' is set between London and South Asia.
The film marks Kapur's return to feature length directorial after his 2007 Cate Blanchett-starrer drama 'Elizabeth: The Golden Age'.
The project is the filmmaker's first collaboration with Azmi since 1983's acclaimed Hindi-language family drama 'Masoom'.
'What's Love Got To Do With It?' also stars Lily James of 'Baby Driver' fame and 'Star Trek: Discovery' actor Shazad Latif. It is written and produced by Jemima Khan.
