Shekhar Kapur Expanding Global Slate With New OTT Project

LOS ANGELES, CA -Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur is currently developing a tentpole romance series for a major international OTT platform. Sources close to the director have said that the project is based on the bestselling U.S. novel ‘My Name Is Memory’ and is being developed, produced, and directed by Shekhar Kapur.

The project is reportedly not positioned as a return to Indian storytelling, but as part of Shekhar Kapur’s ongoing international slate. He is best known for shaping global perception of Indian cinema through landmark works such as ‘Bandit Queen’ and ‘Masoom’, and later redefining historical drama with the Oscar-nominated ‘Elizabeth’, which earned recognition across eight Academy Award categories.

His recent international feature ‘What’s Love Got to Do with It?’ further reinforced that positioning, winning Best Film, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay at the UK National Film Awards. The film starred Emma Thompson, Lily James, and Shabana Azmi. (IANS)
