Actor Priyanka Chopra is excited about the screening of her upcoming Bollywood film The Sky Is Pink at the Toronto International Film Festival that is scheduled for Friday. She says the early reactions to her movie are impressive.
Sharing her excitement for the same, Priyanka posted a montage of various snippets from interviews that she had given on the sidelines of TIFF earlier last week. Speaking in one of the interviews, she said, “One, that its my first Hindi film I have also produced. So being a co-producer on a film...for a story that I really want to tell makes me really happy.”
“I was looking forward to a movie as immersive as this. You need time to prepare for a movie like this,” she said in another. Posting the montage, Priyanka wrote on Instagram, “The initial reviews for #TheSkyIsPink have been wonderful and I’m so ready to head back to @tiff_net for the world premiere with the rest of the team on Sept 13. Busy and exciting days ahead. Stay tuned...”

Shonali said it took Ayesha’s parents six months to track her down - she was living in Los Angeles at the time - and when they met, Ayesha’s mother burst out by saying “I’ve lost my child and I want only one filmmaker in the world to tell her story” and that it was Ayesha’s dying wish to see Margarita with a Straw.
The Sky Is Pink releases on October 11. The film marks the Bollywood comeback of Priyanka after a hiatus of almost three years. It is co-produced by Priyanka, Ronnie Screwvala and Siddharth Roy Kapur.
