Jemima's 'What's Love Got To Do With It?' to release in Pakistan on March 3

Jemima Goldsmith's What's Love Got To Do With It? has opened with rave reviews in the UK. Her maiden film, starring Shahzad Latif, Emma Thompson, Lily James, Sajal Aly and Shabana Azmi in pivotal roles, revolves around the arranged marriage culture in South Asian households. 

Now, Jemima has shared that the film is all set to release in Pakistan on March 3. Taking to Instagram, the British author responded to celebrated singer Shehzad Roy's query regarding the film's release date in Pakistan. "Congratulations and good luck. When can I see this movie in Pakistan?" the Tera Mukhra crooner asked Jemima.

To this, she replied, "March 3rd in Pakistan! Thanks so much."

The renowned hitmaker then shared, "I'm hearing great reviews about the movie, especially about Sajal Aly's work in it."

Jemima, while calling Sajal a star, added, "She’s wonderful in it."

Author Fatima Bhutto, who has already seen the movie, took to Twitter and lauded Jemima for her 'hilarious, moving' film. "What’s Love Got to Do With It is a hilarious, moving film that does something that hasn’t been done before: it makes young Muslims feel proud of who they are and what their culture has the capacity to absorb," Fatima tweeted. "So proud of Jemima and her brilliant film."

In a previous interview, Sajal revealed why she chose to work in her latest film. "I think the first reason I agreed to join this film was that it beautifully highlights Pakistani culture," she had said. "The country depicted in this project is quite colourful, bright and full of joy, which is a huge contrast from the norm in filmmaking which portrays Pakistanis as terrorists, so thank you Jemima for writing such a brilliant script."
