Pretty
girl
Preity
Zinta
is
changing
tracks
with
a
vengeance.
With
an
obvious
attempt
at
shedding
away
her
bubbly
tag,
especially
after
the
box
office
failure
of
her
high
profile
films
like
Jaan-E-Mann
and
Jhoom
Barabar
Jhoom,
she
has
headed
for
art
house
cinema.
One
may
term
her
films
as
meaningful,
parallel
or
offbeat
cinema
but
the
fact
remains
that
each
of
her
upcoming
films
is
a
far
cry
from
the
cute
and
effervescent
image
that
she
has
built
for
herself
over
the
years.
Whether
it
was
her
initial
stint
with
the
likes
of
Soldier
and
Kya
Kehna
or
her
recent
crop
of
films
like
Salaam
Namaste,
Veer
Zaara
and
Koi
Mil
Gaya,
she
was
finding
herself
trapped
in
a
particular
brand
of
cinema.
2008
may
just
about
manage
to
change
it
all
where
she
is
working
on
number
of
art/offbeat
films.
These
are:
Har
Pall

by
Jahnu
Barua)
Heroes
(directed
by
Samir

The
Last
Lear
(directed
by
Rituparno
Ghosh)

On
Earth
