The trailer opens with Zaira aka Aisha Chaudhary narrating the story of her parents, Priyanka Chopra and Farhan Akhtar. We get a glimpse into their love story and Aisha’s birth. Tragedy strikes when Aisha is diagnosed with a critical lung disorder. Then begins the fight against odds. The film is essentially a celebration of love and life.
The film is based on the true story of author and motivational speaker Ayesha Chaudhary. Director Shonali Bose said in a statement, “The Sky is Pink is a deeply personal story and I’m so excited to share it with everyone.”
Calling it a film of love and hope, Priyanka Chopra said, “The Sky Is Pink is a story I think will resonate with everyone at some level. We have all faced loss at some point in life and this movie shows us how to celebrate the life of your loved one, instead of mourning their death.”
The Sky is Pink recently had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. It is also going to have its European premiere at the BFI London Film Festival in October.
“It’s an honour for us to have our European Premiere at the BFI London Film Festival. The city of London plays a significant part in the timeline of the film. In fact, we even shot some portions of the film here so that makes it even more special. The Sky is Pink is a story that will surprise the audience in its representation of love in all its forms. I am so proud of what we’ve created. It’s a labour of love and we’re excited to finally hand it over to the audience,” said Priyanka in a statement.their
Earlier, Priyanka had released an official poster of the film on social media. She wrote, “In this family, crazy doesn’t skip a generation! We bring to you #TheSkyIsPink trailer”
Recently, in an interview to MTV, Priyanka Chopra revealed that she showed Nick Jonas her latest film The Sky Is Pink, and suggested that though Nick isn’t much of a “crier” he did seem to tear up during the film.
The Sky Is Pink will release in theatres on 11 October.
