Indian filmmaker Kunal Kohli has officially wrapped filming on his first-ever English-language feature. Best known for defining the early 2000s Bollywood romance era with hits like Hum Tum and Fanaa, the director is pivoting hard into international cinema. His new project is a British indie titled All About Her.
The film is anchored by a decidedly non-Bollywood cast. British actress Amelia Gething, recognizable from her turns in Emily and The Spanish Princess, leads the project alongside Hollywood actor Nick Sagar from The Princess Switch franchise. The production was shot entirely in the United Kingdom using a predominantly British and international crew, according to early interviews detailing the cinematic shift. Produced by Sheetal Parab, the movie finished its primary shooting schedule in late June 2026.
Kohli isn’t just making a movie. He is explicitly trying to spark a movement. The director cited veteran filmmaker Shekhar Kapur as the primary inspiration for this career pivot. Kapur famously transitioned from Indian cinema to direct the Oscar-winning British historical drama Elizabeth in the late 1990s. Kohli publicly stated he hopes this new venture starts a trend of more Indian filmmakers working globally.
What happens next? The festival circuit. With production now complete, All About Her is bypassing an immediate commercial premiere. The creative team is currently prepping the feature for submission to major international film festivals to build critical momentum ahead of a broader theatrical or streaming release.
