Hong Kong screen veterans Law Kar-ying and Paw Hee-ching have been cast to lead “The Grand Tribute,” a Cantonese opera drama written and directed by Sri Kishore, the filmmaker behind 2021’s “My Indian Boyfriend.”

“My Indian Boyfriend” was billed as Hong Kong’s first mainstream romantic drama with a South Asian male lead. “The Grand Tribute” marks a shift from that contemporary intercultural romance toward a story rooted in traditional Cantonese performing arts, and is set entirely in Hong Kong.
