And Now Working with art-house directors. The experience of working with art-house directors makes Preity Zinta feel like a changed actress.
Departing from the glamour and larger-than-life characters of Bollywood commercial films, Preity discovered the joy and challenge of portraying realistic characters in films like The Last Lear and Heaven On Earth.
In a recent screening of Preity Zinta's upcoming release Heaven on Earth, everybody was so impressed by her conviction in playing the battered wife. Apparently, two of her security guards were ready to beat up her co-star Vansh Bhardwaj who played her abusive husband in the film.
Vansh, Preity believes, portrays domestic violence as normal issue that makes it seem unbelievable that such a horrific thing is so common. She thanks her director, the acclaimed Deepa Mehta, for writing such a script and such a role that took her talent to the next level and put her in a situation like never before.
Since the movie's dialogues are in Punjabi, Preity, who hails from Himachal, had difficulty in getting the accent right. She even insisted Deepa on getting her dialogues dubbed. But Deepa pushed Preity and made her learn her dialogues.
Eventually, Preity gave such a terrific performance that Deepa says Preity is the most talented actress she has worked with so far.
