British helmer Gurinder Chadha is putting together a slate of cross-cultural projects fusing Asian and Western sensibilities beginning with It’s a Wonderful Afterlife, which the helmer describes as My Big Fat Greek Wedding meets Shaun of the Dead. The story follows a British-Asian mother whose obsession to marry off her daughter comically leads to serial murder. Chadha has tapped Indian actress Shabana Azmi (“Fire”) for a leading role along with newcomer Goldy Notay, Sanjeev Bhaskar (“The Kumars at No. 42”), Shaheen Khan (“Bend It Like Beckham”) and Sendhil Ramamurthy (“Heroes”).
