Mr. Sohal met the legendary Martin Scorsese at the Mayfair Hotel in London, for the press photocall for his film The Irishman.
It is rare for anyone to have an original poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs, and video/DVD sleeves.
This cult film was directed by Martin Scorsese and written by Paul Schrader. It was the second time that the director and Robert De Niro worked together, a collaboration that has to-date produced a total of nine feature films.
