Love Sonia is an upcoming 2017 Indian film directed by Tabrez Noorani and produced by David Womark. It will be released in 2017.
The film features newcomer Mrunal Thakur as the title character along with Freida Pinto, Demi Moore, Manoj Bajpayee, Richa Chadda, Anupam Kher, Rajkummar Rao, and Sai Tamhankar.
Love Sonia tells the heartfelt and brave story of Sonia (Mrunal Thukur), a young Indian Village girl whose life irrevocably changes when she is entrapped into the vicious global sex trade network.
Tabrez Noorani was inspired to make Love Sonia after he was introduced to Human Trafficking in Los Angeles in 2003, when some girls were found in a shipping container from China. One of them was a young Indian girl. The incident inspired Noorani to work with non-governmental organizations focused on trafficking in Los Angeles. He has also participated in several brothel raids. Noorani and Womark met on Ang Lee's Life of Pi and have been working on the project for three years.
Mrunal Thakur was cast in the title role after a year long search of over 1,500 girls.
The principal photography begins late April 2016 in India and will also film in Hong Kong and Los Angeles.
