Shonali Bose’s The Sky Is Pink will have its world premiere at the 44th Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) on September 3. Based on the life of motivational speaker Aisha Chaudhary, the inspirational drama stars Zaira Wasim, Priyanka Chopra and Farhan Akhtar in the lead roles.
Only 20 films get selected for Gala Presentation at TIFF each year. The Sky Is Pink is the only Asian film to have made the cut in 2019. Delighted with the selection, Priyanka said, “I am honoured that the film’s world premiere will take place at TIFF. I’m looking forward to being back at festival once again to showcase our small package of love to the world."
Director Shonali Bose shared, The Sky Is Pink is a deeply personal and an incredibly special film for me. At its core, this is an extraordinary story of what it means to be a family. This my third film to premiere at TIFF and I cannot wait.”
The Toronto International Film Festival will be held from September 5 to 15. The Sky Is Pink is slated for worldwide release on October 11.
