From the team behind Bend it Like Beckham comes this year’s new romantic comedy, It’s A Wonderful Afterlife, which is out now.  Award-winning director, Gurinder Chadha, is back with an Indian mum whose match-making efforts turn deadly when she tries to marry off her daughter. A film described as ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding meets Shaun of the dead’ was sure to create speculation amongst the many fans eagerly waiting to watch the screening! So, with the popcorn at the ready, the film commenced with famous names rolling off the opening credits; Shabana Azmi, ‘Bollywoods very own Merlyil Streep,’ Sanjeev Bhaskar, Shaheen Khan, Sendhil Ramamurthy, Ray Panthaki and Zoe Wanamaker. Expectations prevailed as the audience attempted to stick to their seats throughout the echoing laughter.

Quoting from the interview with Gurinder, she say:

"We’ve done lots of  behind the scene sequences and bally sago has done a fantastic Bhangra version of ‘staying alive’ by the bee gees which was a great laugh,  we’ve got some wonderful clips of making the film and from these you can really tell we had a great time making the film. I think it’s really important to be happy and to have a happy crew on set.

I work hard to make my crew and cast want to come to work and a brilliant time! Everyone works hard and works very long hours, people come in so early in the morning and leave so late at night and you can either go around and shout or just be friendly and nice where everyone just gets on with their job and has a good time. I have a great crew and we always help and support each other- we’re like one big family!

At lunch times, we used to constantly have curry but just to reassure you not the exploding kind (laughs). My cousin is a caterer and it was great because the English crew really appreciate things like this, and love Indian food!"

Enjoy the making of 'It's A Wonderful Afterlife' .
