Priyanka
Chopra
made
her
comeback
in
Bollywood
after
four
years
with
Shonali
Bose's
latest
release,
'The
Sky
Is
Pink'
which
also
stars
Farhan
Akhtar,
Zaira
Wasim
and
Rohit
Saraf.
The
film
is
based
on
the
real-life
story
of
late
Aisha
Chaudhary
who
became
a
motivational
speaker
after
being
diagnosed
with
a
life-threatening
disease
called
pulmonary
fibrosis.
Despite
glowing
reviews
from
the
critics,
the
Priyanka-Farhan
starrer
began
on
a
dull
note
by
just
earning
Rs
2.50
crore
on
Day
1.
Early
estimates
suggest
that
the
second-day
box
office
collections
are
expected
to
be
around
Rs
4-5
crore.
Speaking
about
why
she
chose
to
take
up
this
film,
Priyanka
recently
told
the
Indian
Express,
"I
had
finished
working
on
the
third
season
of
Quantico.
Playing
Alex
Parrish
had
become
easy.
I
was
looking
for
something
to
challenge
me.
After
I
finished
reading
the
script,
I
sat
quietly
for
about
an
hour.
I
thought
about
life,
loss,
and
laughter.
I
was
moved
by
it
and
that's
what
you
want."
She
also
spoke
about
how
she
prepped
for
the
role
and
revealed,
"I
did
a
lot
of
prep
before
the
filming,
including
meeting
the
woman
on
whose
life
the
story
is
based.
I
am
not
a
mother.
I
can
claim
to
empathise
but
not
understand
what
it
feels
like
to
lose
a
child.
So
I
depended
a
lot
on
Shonali
Bose
(the
director),
who
has
also
lost
a
child."
'The
Sky
Is
Pink'
is
facing
some
stiff
competition
from
Hrithik
Roshan-Tiger
Shroff's
high-octane
action
thriller,
'War'
which
continues
to
have
a
successful
run
at
the
theatrical
screens.
The
Siddharth
Anand
directorial
has
already
minted
Rs.
235.60
crore
in
its
second
week
of
release
and
is
expected
to
dominate
the
box
office
until
Akshay
Kumar's
'Housefull
4'
hits
the
big
screens
on
October
25,
2019.
