Shekhar Kapur PROFILE

Against his own wish of pursuing a film career, Shekhar Kapur bowed down to his parent’s wishes, migrated to Great Britain and became a chartered accountant. The call of Bollywood however proved too strong and he returned to India and tried his hand as a print model and a performer with limited success. He made his directorial debut in 1983 with the acclaimed Masoom and he backed it up in 1987 with the smash hit Mr. India. His subsequent venture Bandit Queen based on the life of Phoolan Devi got him international attention and embroiled him in a fair bit of controversy as well. He was the unexpected choice of producers Alison Owen, Eric Fellner and Tim Bevan who wanted to do a biopic on Queen Elizabeth I with a fresh perspective. The film titled Elizabeth was a success and earned its director an Oscar nomination, but his latest film The Four Feathers earned average reviews from critics and audiences alike. His upcoming films include Golden Age a sequel to Elizabeth, Solace, Paani and Buddha.
