About 'Text For You'
The film is inspired by the 2016 German-language box office hit "SMS Fur Dich", which is based on Sofie Cramer's popular novel of the same name. Strouse has co-written the screenplay with Lauryn Kahn undertaking the most recent rewrite.
The plot revolves around a woman who, to ease the pain after tragically losing her fiance, starts to send romantic texts to his old cell phone. It turns out that the number has been reassigned to a man across town suffering from a similar heartbreak. The two meet and feel an undeniable connection, but can't seem to leave the past behind.
Besides this film, Chopra also has two projects "White Tiger" and "We Can Be Heroes" in her kitty.
