Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur needs no introduction. The auteur has made some notable films over the year that have achieved cult status among the audience. The celebrated director’s most recent film What's Love Got To Do With It? was released in the UK, USA, and India and received a tremendous response globally.
Earlier this week, the British National Awards took place, and out of the nine categories in which What's Love Got To Do With It? was nominated, the film won four awards: Best Director, Best British Film, Best Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actor.
Shekhar Kapur shared a post on his social media with the caption,
“Thank you @nationalfilmawards for this very unexpected honour. But this award really belongs to 'Team What's Love ... For a director is merely a sum total of his/her team ..”
Kapur's contributions to cinema have not only shaped the Indian landscape but also extended to the international stage, with his movies Elizabeth and Elizabeth: The Golden Age winning Oscar Awards.
His vision for spotting talent has a proven track record, having worked with actors such as Cate Blanchett, Eddie Redmayne, and Heath Ledger before they were discovered by mainstream cinema.
The director is also working on a sequel to his directorial debut film Masoom, and most recently, Shekhar Kapur was also awarded the 'Lifetime Contribution to UK-India Relations" award at IGF’s UK-India Awards!
