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.
