Roy Kapur Films, RSVP Films, with SK Global, and Purple Pebble Pictures have released the trailer of their film The Sky Is Pink today, 10 September.
The film is a true love story of a couple spanning 25 years, told through the lens of their critically ill teenage daughter. She is sassy, sardonic, spunky and also…dead! Despite the intensity of the plot, the trailer has the laughs and is indeed for a humorous love story. The film is inspired by late Indian teenage author Aisha Chaudhary and her family. Aisha Chaudhary was a young Indian author and motivational speaker with pulmonary fibrosis who passed away at the age of nineteen. She is the author of the book My Little Epiphanies, published one day before her death.
While Zaira Wasim plays the role of Aisha Chaudhary, Priyanka Chopra and Farhan Akhtar play her parents and Rohit Saraf plays the role of her brother, Ishaan Chaudhary. Watch the trailer now.
