Hi Friends,
This is a love story for today’s generation – a modern yet timeless story that’s relatable, authentic and real. There is genuine chemistry between Natasha (Yara Shahidi) and Daniel (Charles Melton) and they undergo an emotional journey falling in love despite the odds. Yara is best known for her roles in the US sitcom Black-ish and its spin-off series Grown-ish as well as for being a model and activist. Charles stars in the popular TV series Riverdale which is distributed internationally through Netflix. Aspirational “cool” factor of Shahidi and Melton as rising stars of their generation – they are “young Hollywood” and “stars to watch” for sure and will be revealed when this movie hits the theatres today! But before you embark on this journey, do embrace diversity within a love story, the actors, characters and city setting as a relatable angle. Inspired by Nicola Yoon’ own marriage, the book is a New York Times bestseller with multiple accolades.

SYNOPSIS:
“What if I told you I could get you to fall in love with me…?”
College-bound romantic Daniel Bae and Jamaica-born pragmatist Natasha Kingsley meet—and fall for each other—over one magical day amidst the fervour and flurry of New York City. Sparks immediately fly between these two strangers, who might never have met had fate not given them a little push. But will fate be enough to take these teens from star-crossed to lucky in love? With just hours left on the clock in what looks to be her last day in the U.S., Natasha is fighting against her family’s deportation as fiercely as she’s fighting her budding feelings for Daniel, who is working just as hard to convince her they are destined to be together.
A modern-day story about finding love against all odds, “The Sun Is Also a Star” explores whether our lives are determined by fate or the random events of the universe.
