Shabana Azmi has been in England for over a month shooting for Shekhar Kapur’s What’s Love Got to Do With It? On Tuesday, she wrapped up her scenes with Emma Thompson in the cross-cultural comedy. Azmi described the acclaimed Hollywood actor as “warm and generous,” and added that she would “cherish the time spent together.” The film is produced by Jemima Khan.

In an interview with mid-day, Shabana Azmi was quoted saying about her Hollywood projects, "One is a historical drama and the other, a futuristic sci-fi show! An actor cannot ask for more diverse subjects. Now, we have proper call sheets. Earlier, that was not the case [in Bollywood]. I remember, Rajesh Khanna and I were shooting a scene in Khar for Aravind Sen's film [Nasihat, 1986] while Kader Khan was writing the next scene in RK Studios, where he was shooting for another film! It's a miracle that we, actors, managed to bring any authenticity at all."
