Kaur, an acclaimed short film that debuted last year on British streamers ITVX and BritBox, is set to be remade as a feature-length film.
The short film stars Parvinder Shergill in the lead role. It bills itself as “the first film in history” to follow the story of a British Sikh woman (Shergill), who decides to wear a turban for the first time against her father’s wishes. Her mother (Nina Wadia), is supportive of the decision but struggles with the tensions it causes.
Shergill said the new version of Kaur would be a "huge Hollywood feature". She is writing it with Juggy Sohal, who wrote the original short film with her.
Talking to BBC, she said that the bigger-budget remake of the South Asian drama would have a "lot more characters".
"There's going to be so much more opportunity for us brown people. It's going to be amazing - I really want to open up the doors in Hollywood for all of us behind and in front of the camera,” she said.
Shergill further said that the plot of the movie centres around a "natural conversation that happens in a Sikh household at some point". "Her father is against her taking this path… it's not an easy path. There's a lot of honour and respect with owning your turban, but speaking to a lot of people, my father included, there's been a lot of racism and discrimination, and we can't hide away from that,” she added.

Why did Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas split?
According to sources talking to The Sun, “Tom and Ana had a good time, but their time as a couple ran its course.” They’re staying friends, no bad blood, but dating? Not happening. “They realised they weren’t going to go the distance,” the insider added.
Some might be surprised since there were whispers about engagement, even a “space wedding” floating around. Turns out, that wasn’t real.

Will Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas still work together?
Yes. Professional commitments aren’t stopping. They’ll still work together on Deeper, a supernatural thriller that’s on hold. “She’s already cast, so they’ll be on set together,” a source said.
The romance kicked off in Vermont, hand-holding, photo ops, the whole thing. From there, it moved quickly: a private jet to Madrid, celebrating Ana’s 37th birthday in London with selfies and nights out. They didn’t avoid public appearances either: David Beckham’s 50th in May, and an Oasis concert at Wembley. Tom even gave Ana helicopter rides a few times.
