Sofia Parveen makes her Bollywood debut in Rajiv Rai’s ZORA

Bollywood is set to welcome a new face with remarkable depth and training. Sofia Parveen, an accomplished and model, is making her as the lead heroine in Rajiv Rai’s much-awaited thriller ZORA, releasing on 8th August 2025.

With over five years of dedicated theatre experience, Sofia has built a strong foundation in acting. She has performed lead roles in award-winning plays, written scripts for national-level productions, and mastered the nuances of stage performance. This journey has honed her voice control, expressive range, and screen presence — qualities that now come alive in her first feature film.

In ZORA, Sofia portrays Bindu, a character central to the film’s murder-mystery narrative. The role demanded a rare combination of emotional subtlety and dramatic intensity — a challenge Sofia embraced wholeheartedly.

Speaking about her debut, she says, “The role required me to explore a wide range of emotions and portray them with authenticity. My theatre training gave me the discipline and craft to meet that challenge.”

Rajiv Rai, known for creating unforgettable female characters in films like Tridev and Gupt, praises Sofia as “a rare combination of grace, intelligence, and raw screen magnetism.”

With her discipline, versatility, and talent, Sofia Parveen is already generating industry buzz as one of the most promising newcomers of 2025. All eyes will be on her when ZORA hits theatres nationwide on 8th August 2025.
