Sajal Aly to star in Jemima Goldsmith’s What’s Love Got To Do With It

Pakistan actress Sajal Ali, more famously known as Sajal Aly, will be making her Hollywood debut with Jemima Goldsmith’s romantic comedy film, What’s Love Got To Do With It.

Sajal Aly is currently filming for the rom-com in London and will be starring alongside Emma Thompson, Lily James and Shazad Latif as revealed by BBC journalist Haroon Rashid.

“Award-winning actress Shabana Azmi, People Just Do Nothing’s Asim Chaudhry and Gavin & Stacey’s Rob Brydon are also part of the cast.” he added in another tweet.

What’s Love Got To Do With It is written and produced by Jemima Goldsmith while Indian filmmaker Shekhar Kapur will be directing the project.

Sajal Aly is yet to make an announcement in this regard as the actress has not posted anything about her first Hollywood project on social media, which maybe because its still too early in the production.

The news was also confirmed the cast of the upcoming project through a retweet.

The movie is set between London and South Asia, exploring cross-cultural conflicts of love and marriage while being described as “a story of identities,” by the director, Shekhar Kapur.

“It’s about cultural clashes and it’s a comedy, but it’s about hiding behind an identity and how identities can become tribal, and how tribalism can lead to clashes and fundamentalism. It’s a romcom, but based on this fundamental idea of people adopting identities out of fear of marginalization.” Kapur said while talking to Variety back in November 2020.
