Filmmaker Gurinder Chadha is on cloud nine as King Charles prepares to watch her movie “Christmas Karma” during his Christmas celebration at Sandringham.
Chadha had the opportunity to meet King Charles, who expressed his anticipation for the film. She shared a video of their meeting on her official Instagram account, celebrating the moment.
In her post, she wrote, “Whoo hoo. HRH The King will be watching @christmaskarmamovie this Christmas in Sandringham. I am delighted a print of my film was requested. We had the pleasure of meeting @kingcharlesuk, who told me he was looking forward to it (sic).”
During their conversation, the King even inquired if she was a good director. “It is a vision of Britain that he thoroughly endorses through our charity work with @thebritishasiantrust, of which he is patron. He met Freddie Marshal, our Tiny Tim who has NF1, and spoke to HRH about his charity work to bring attention to the condition. He asked @leo.suter, our compassionate Bob Cratchit, if I was a good director. He likes to pull my leg when we meet! AND for all the wonderful comments we have received and reports of dancing in theatres and audiences breaking into applause at the end of screenings. My film is about finding hope and happiness for my kids and their friends who are so troubled with the world around them. At this time, charity and empathy mark the festive season for me. @christmaskarmamovie is in cinemas and also available on all streaming platforms. I wish you all Happy holidays to you and yours,” she added.
“Christmas Karma,” featuring Kunal Nayyar, Leo Suter, Charithra Chandran, Pixie Lott, Danny Dyer, Boy George, Hugh Bonneville, Billy Porter, and Eva Longoria, reached audiences on November 14.
