The cute, bubbly girl of “Koi mil Gaya” or “Dil se” is now shifting her focus from modern, main-stream films to the off-beat ones. Soon we will see her in internationally acclaimed Rituparno Ghosh’s upcoming venture, The Last Lear. The film, based on the Bengali play “Aajker Shahjahan” by Utpal Dutt, focuses on the conflict between theatre and screen as well as on inter personal relationship. Preity will be seen playing the role of an actress in traditional Bengali dresses, wearing bindis and having her long flowing hair open. The film was already selected to be premiered at the prestigious Toronto film festival. As co stars, Preity will have Amitabh Bachchan [playing an ageing and fading Shakespearean actor], Arjun Rampal[as a rising hot-shot], Jishu Sengupta and Shefali Shah.
By far Preity has reigned in Bollywood with her glamour, full-off-bean attitude and killing dimples. But now it’s time to see her on-screen-appearance with minimum make up. With The Last Lear she has just turned over a new leaf and we will see her in more such serious roles. She is in talks with Saji Karun’s film Suryamukhi where as Jahnu Barua has already involved her in his forthcoming Har Pall.
Preity lost her father in an early age and then struggled hard to enter the showbiz. Once she also spoke about how she took a long hard look towards life after having a close view of tsunami in 2005. So to scan how these changes of our well-known Preity whiz into our hearts, let’s wait until her new ventures hit the screen.
