The National Award-winning actress essays the lead role along with actor Farhan Akhtar. Her Purple Pebble Pictures is co-producing the film.
"'The Sky Is Pink' is a story that I connected with from the minute I heard it and in Shonali's hands, it's been crafted into a moving, beautiful film that will renew our faith in love and life.
"It's what led me to not only take on the challenging role of Aditi Chaudhary but also to co-produce it. I am so proud of this film and am honoured that the film's world premiere will take place at the Gala Presentation at TIFF 2019.
