Actress-businesswoman
Preity
Zinta,
whose
current
legal
conflict
with
ex-beau
Ness
Wadia
scorched
the
headlines,
is
set
to
make
a
comeback
with
Neeraj
Pathak's
Bhaiyyaji,
in
which
she
plays
a
ferocious
bandit.
The
film
will
also
feature
Sunny
Deol
as
a
gangster
from
Uttar
Pradesh.
According
to
Pathak,
Preity
has
pulled
it
off
with
aplomb.
"Preity
plays
a
Uttar
Pradeshwali.
She
plays
a
gangster's
daughter.
She's
no-nonsense
UP
gangster
and
Sunny
Deol's
wife," he
added.
Apparently
Preity's
transformation
into
a
foul-mouthed
rustic
bandit
was
so
convincing
that
Sunny
wants
to
cast
her
as
Sohni's
Punjabi
mother
in
the
remake
of
Sohni
Mahiwal,
a
film
that
the
actor
reportedly
wants
to
do
with
his
son
in
the
lead.
Pathak
said,
"Preity's
interpretation
of
the
firebrand
wife's
character
is
bang-on.
She
will
not
be
seen
as
only
for
urbane
sophisticated
roles
after
'Bhaiyyaji'."
"We've
12
days'
shooting
left.
We
will
complete
the
shooting
post-monsoon," said
the
director.
In
the
past
Preity
had
worked
with
both
Sunny
and
Bobby
in
The
Hero:
Love
Story
Of
A
Spy
and
Soldier.
Interestingly,
both
the
films
were
hits.
Let's
wait
and
see
how
Preity
carries
off
her
rustic
bandit
looks!
