Preity in Heaven By: A hitList Correspondent
September 26, 2007  Kudi punjaban learns to be a punjabi: Preity Zinta Preity Zinta has been gravitating towards a neo-realistic cinema. After working with Rituparno Ghosh and Jahnu Barua, Preity’s latest is Deepa Mehta’s Heaven On Earth. Deepa wants to do this quickie before plunging into Luna with John Abraham, Rachel Weisz, Dustin Hoffman and Chris Cooper.
She says, “Preity is perfect! I first met her at IIFA earlier this year. We talked about the real-life character of a Punjabi housewife who goes through domestic violence. Preity was keen. But the dates were a problem. They’ve now been worked out and Preity is on.”
The shooting for Deepa (and Preity’s) first Punjabi film begins in October.
But before that, in the middle of September, Preity will be attending a workshop in Toronto. “It’s so that Preity can understand and come to grips with the character’s milieu and body language. I think Preity can look very very Punjabi,” observes Deepa.
