Director Tabez Noorani was himself involved in a real-life
rescue mission that took place in Hong Kong and India. Speaking about that and
the film, he says " 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.
Producer David Womark said, "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.”
Co-Producer Amar Butala also said "It's an elated
feeling to take your project to a world platform where you have people from
different cultures get to see a global issue, opening Love Sonia at The Bagri
London Film Festival is one such immense feeling which I am extremely proud of.
