Love Sonia is creating waves at both inside the borders and beyond. The film, which is based on global sex trafficking, is all set for their world premiere which will take place at Europe's largest South Asian film festival, i.e. The Bagri London Indian Film Festival 2018.

The star cast which comprises of Mrunal Thakur, Richa Chadha, Manoj Bajpayee, Rajkummar Rao, Sai Tamhankar and Riya Sisodiya will also be in attendance at the festival.
Tabrez Noorani, who will make his directorial debut with Love Sonia, was actually involved in a real-life rescue mission that took place in Hong Kong and India. Speaking about that and the film, he said "We were keen to make a project for a global platform which would speak volumes about an issue which is a terrible problem faced by almost every community, and which has not been adequately addressed. This movie attempts to cast light on this issue.”
"Both Tabrez and myself are proud to have Love Sonia open the Bagri London Indian Film Festival, Ang Lee has said that when there is a strong woman character in a story--it always grabs him. We are very fortunate in Love Sonia to tell the powerful story of a strong woman’s journey," added producer David Womark.
