What Does Love Have To Do With It? Shekhar Kapur, the wonderkid who burned at home with a succession of notable films, catapulted to global fame with Elizabeth, and then went 16 years without directing a movie, is making a comeback with this project.
To the dismay of her eccentric mother Cath (Emma Thompson), documentary filmmaker and dating app junkie Zoe (Lily James) has found that swiping right only results in a never-ending stream of Mr. Wrongs. Kaz (Shazad Latif), a neighbour and friend from childhood, decides to follow his parents' example and be married to a lovely Pakistani woman in an arranged marriage. As she chronicles his hopeful journey from London to Lahore to marry a stranger, chosen by his parents, Zoe begins to wonder whether she might be able to learn something from a fundamentally different approach to finding love. Their strong bond is in part a result of the movie's complete lack of self-consciousness regarding the multitude of worlds it is juggling, including east and west, young and old, modernity and tradition, and various worlds in more than one sense. Kapur and Khan approach the narrative with empathy and avoid making quick judgements about either side of the two continents.

In a June 2022 profile of Emma Thompson in the New York Times Magazine, Nicole Sperling reported that Thompson's role in this movie was created specifically for her: "The writer Jemima Khan told Thompson that she had always wanted the actress to be her mother, so she wrote her a role in the upcoming film 'What's Love Got to Do With It?'
Several characters in this movie have the last name Khan, which is also the (married) last name of the screenwriter, Jemima Goldsmith Khan. This is not necessarily a self-reference on the part of Jemima Khan or a reference to the source of her married name, her ex-husband, Imran Khan--because "Khan" is one of the most common last names among Asian Muslims. The name originates from a hereditary or military title denoting a ruler or chief.
This movie is about a white British woman who falls in love with a South Asian man. The movie's screenwriter, Jemima Goldsmith Khan, is a white British woman who, in the mid-1990s, fell in love with and married a South Asian man--Imran Khan Niazi, the cricket star and (from 2018 until 2022) the prime minister of Pakistan. Imran and Jemima were married from 1995 to 2004 and have two children together.
Filming started two years before the film was released. A test screening in late 2021 resulted in the film being re-edited and some additional filming required. A second test screening in 2022 led to some more changes being made before a final cut was decided on.
Naughty Boy is working on the soundtrack. This marks his first time producing a movie soundtrack.
