About Love Again

Mira Ray is living with the loss of her fiancé John, and she clings to memories through messages that she keeps sending to his old phone number. When the number has already changed hands, the texts land on Rob Burns, a journalist with a keen eye for honesty. Rob is intrigued by the raw confession in each message and starts wondering who Mira might be. His newsroom assignment to profile the international star Céline Dion becomes a peculiar bridge between two strangers who have never met. Soon he enlists Céline’s help to figure out how to meet Mira in person and spark real romance. The film uses breezy banter and a city-to-city backdrop to keep things lively, giving Chopra Jonas a chance to show Mira's resilience as life nudges her toward a new possibility.

Directed by Jim Strouse, Love Again reimagines the German hit SMS fur Dich for an English language audience. The project draws on Sofie Cramer and Karoline Herfurth to shape the adaptation, with Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Sam Heughan at the center.

The film rounds off a $9 million budget with a worldwide gross around $10 million, making it a modest but steady performer for a romantic comedy released in limited markets.

Critics describe the movie as warm but unfussy, balancing grief and new love with light humor. The story looks at how loss shapes desire, how chance messages can connect strangers, and how fame complicates ordinary courtship. The central appeal lies in the chemistry between Chopra Jonas and Heughan.

Céline Dion appears as herself in a playful cross promotional moment, and her songs thread through the film bringing a recognizable emotional lift. Mira and Rob’s modern texting romance has drawn attention on social media for its hopeful vibe and approachable romance, giving Priyanka Chopra Jonas a broader audience in a global genre.
