Shakespeare Wallah

Loosely based on the real-life actor-manager Geoffrey Kendal family and his Shakespeareana Company of travelling theatre, which earned him the Indian sobriquet, Shakespearewallah. The film follows the story of nomadic British actors as they perform Shakespeare plays in towns in post-colonial India. In this story, Tony Buckingham (Geoffrey Kendal) and his wife Carla (Laura Liddell) oversee the troupe. Their daughter, Lizzie Buckingham (Felicity Kendal), falls in love with Sanju (Shashi Kapoor), who is also romancing Manjula (Madhur Jaffrey), a Bollywood film star.In real life, Shashi Kapoor fell in love with Felicitys elder sister Jennifer Kendal.

Their marriage would provide an important contribution to the Indian film industry until Kendals death in 1984.
