When filmmaker Mira Nair shot “Monsoon Wedding,” she didn’t realize the 2001 movie about an Indian family preparing to celebrate an arranged marriage would become a cult classic.

The director, whose credits include “Mississippi Masala,” “The Namesake” and “Queen of Katwe” joins us to talk about her career and her decision to re-imagine “Monsoon Wedding” for the stage.
