Mr. Sohal met Robert De Niro at a Q&A event for the film The Irishman, in London.
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 biographical film was directed by Martin Scorsese and was based on Jake LaMotta's memoir Raging Bull: My Story. The film stars Robert De Niro as Jake LaMotta, Cathy Moriarty, and Joe Pesci. It shows the life of a boxer, Jake LaMotta, and how what made him a world champion, also destroyed his relationship with his wife and family.
