King of Queens

Internationally-acclaimed film director Shekhar Kapur joins CNN’s Anjali Rao for a special edition of “Talk Asia”, which will be filmed in front of a live studio audience for the first time in India.

Watch Kapur as he talks candidly with Rao about his films, passions and inspirations and retraces his career path from accountancy to acting and, finally, directing.

He recalls his directorial experiences during “Elizabeth” and “Elizabeth: The Golden Age” and the reasons behind his decision to cast Cate Blanchett as Elizabeth. Kapur takes us back to his time directing his international breakout movie, “Bandit Queen”. He also talks about the failure of “The Four Feathers”, which starred the late Heath Ledger, and “Paani” (Water), his dream project for which he has returned home to Mumbai after a decade in Hollywood. A love story set in the future where a global shortage sees water become a tradable commodity. “Talk Asia” will be aired tonight at 9.30 p.m. and tomorrow at 7.30 p.m.
