Starring Priyanka and Sam, the movie will also feature Celine Dion who sings new song Love Again, written for the screen and directed by Jim Strouse.

The synopsis of the film reads: "What if a random text message led to the love of your life? In this romantic comedy, dealing with the loss of her fiancé, Mira Ray sends a series of romantic texts to his old cell phone number…not realising the number was reassigned to Rob Burns' new work phone.

"A journalist, Rob is captivated by the honesty in the beautifully confessional texts. When he’s assigned to write a profile of megastar Celine Dion (playing herself in her first film role), he enlists her help in figuring out how to meet Mira in person…and win her heart."
