After a warm reception globally, the film now has a release date as announced by film analyst Taran Adarsh who tweeted: “Release date finalised...

Directed by Tabrez Noorani.”
Tabrez made the film after he personally conducted raids on Mumbai brothels, rescuing women forced into sex work alongside anti-trafficking organisations. In an interview with a British daily, he said, “I wanted to make a movie about global sex trafficking and bring it back home because it makes people uncomfortable... Everyone thinks it’s something that only happens in somebody else’s country, or happens far, far away. They watch the film and they realise it is down the street where they live.”

After working as a line producer on films like ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ and ‘Life of Pi’, Tabrez had a tough time working on the film ‘Love Sonia’. He said, “This isn’t an esoteric movie. You need people to watch it and educate themselves. If I wanted to send a message, I would have sent a telegram.”
At the London Indian Film Festival, Richa Chadha was honoured with an outstanding achievement award for her performance in the film. Speaking of the award, in a statement, she said, “This was completely unexpected. I was overwhelmed with the response to the film and I am very happy that people knew, appreciated my work here in London. It was a humbling experience.”
