Priyanka, while tweeting the first look at the Hindi-language flick, set to be released in India on 11 October, also mentioned that the movie would be the only film from Asia to be officially selected at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) 2019 in Canada.
So proud to announce that #TheSkyIsPink is the only film from Asia to have an official selection at #TIFF2019! Can't wait to be back this year in the dual role of actor & producer. I hope to see many of you at the world premiere on Sep 13. Thank you for all the love & support.🙏 pic.twitter.com/tJCS6eQSV6

Directed by Shonali Bose, the film starring B-Town hunk Farhan Akhtar against PeeCee, is a love story about the parents of a teenage girl. The flick, which is supposed to be the "Quantico" star’s comeback in Indian cinemas after a gap of more than three years, also talks about the disease of pulmonary fibrosis.
As expected, the fans were overjoyed seeing the first look of the much anticipated movie and expressed their excitement on social media of having their heartthrob back in Bollywood.

While the film is set to enthral fans, the movie, which features Kashmiri teenager Zaira Wasim, has evoked calls for boycotting it following a furore in B-Town last month after she quit the film industry citing working in films interfered with her religion of Islam.
