The feature-length film will have its international premiere at the International Film Festival of Rotterdam, which is among the top 5 film festivals in the world. The documentary elucidates her journey as a rock star, her brand of music, love for her country’s roots & culture and how she has become a symbol of hope of a larger movement. Directed by Deepti Gupta, "Shut Up Sona", is a closely observed telling of Sona's uncomfortable relationship with her beloved country. "Our film is irreverently brave and unapologetically takes on structural misogyny of the industry and society I belong to. This is a film about music, art, social change & a clashing of the ancient & the modern, every civilization needs to go through these clashes to evolve & become a better place. That is also made everyone laugh during the screenings we’ve had here is an added bonus. I am elated about the film's international premiere. The start of 2020 has been crackling I must add!” said Sona.She further added, "The selection at Rotterdam has made me believe that good stories will always find a way. We are proud to take ‘Shut Up Sona’ to Rotterdam for an International Premiere where we are invited to represent India not only with our film but also perform at the closing ceremony. I plan to make this a very special & unique presentation of India from a pop culture perspective." For more Bollywood updates, follow Bollyy!
