Shekhar Kapur, a visionary filmmaker from the land of Bollywood, has left an indelible mark on the global cinematic landscape with his masterful works. His 1994 film, Bandit Queen, based on Mala Sen's biography of Phoolan Devi, the infamous Indian Bandit and politician, catapulted him to international acclaim. But it was his historical biopics on Queen Elizabeth that truly earned him accolades in the international arena. Elizabeth (1998), Kapur's first foray into the world of British monarchy, was a triumph. The film won the prestigious BAFTA Award for Outstanding British Film, cementing Kapur's position as a force to be reckoned with in the world of cinema.
