StudioCanal and Working Title Films have announced that British-Pakistani record producer, DJ, and musician Naughty Boy is bringing his production and writing skills to Shekhar Kapur and Jemima Khan’s ‘What’s Love Got To Do With It?’ and will collaborate on new, original, recordings for the upcoming romantic comedy. Naughty Boy has partnered with a well-known Pakistani artist for the project, with further details to follow closer to the film’s release in 2022.
Speaking about the project, Naughty Boy commented, “It was an honour to be asked by Jemima and Shekhar to be a part of the soundtrack for WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT – my first step into the film music realm, and to be doing this with one of Pakistan’s biggest artists is a dream come true.
“As a composer, playing with instruments and grooves I wouldn’t normally have opened up this soundtrack to a universal sound which I am excited for everyone to hear. It will definitely get you dancing and the world really needs that right now!”
‘What’s Love Got To Do With It?’ is a new cross cultural romantic comedy starring Lily James, Shazad Latif and Emma Thompson. Rounding out the cast are Sajal Aly, Shabana Azmi, Rob Brydon and Asim Chaudhry. The film is directed by Shekhar Kapur and written by Jemima Khan.
