Film director Gurinder Chadha has said her modern-day adaptation of Charles Dickens’ classic novel A Christmas Carol aims to reflect contemporary Britain.
Chadha, 65, best known for directing the 2002 hit Bend It Like Beckham, has reimagined Scrooge as Mr Sood, a rich British Indian, played by The Big Bang Theory’s Kunal Nayyar, who is haunted by three ghosts of Christmas past, present and future, played by Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria, Pose actor Billy Porter and British singer Boy George.
