Interestingly, Priyanka's Purple Pebble Pictures is also a co-producer of the film. Talking about why she chose to do and back the film, the 37-year-old said, "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."
Further, the movie will be Siddharth Roy Kapur's first home-production to get premiered at TIFF, and the producer is thrilled about it. Ronnie Screwvala, another producer of the film, said, "The Sky Is Pink is a story for audiences across the globe. We take great pride in presenting our film at TIFF and look forward to sharing this film with everyone."
