It was 2008 that we last saw Preity Zinta in full fledged lead role in movie ‘Heroes’. After that she has made cameos in a couple of movies but never in something substantial.

But Preity is ready to grace the big screen again in a lead role in an upcoming flick ‘Ishq in Paris’. The movie is an Indo-French project and is to be directed by Prem Soni.

In the movie Preity plays a half-French half-Indian girl who falls in love in Paris. For her character preparation Preity Zinta has hired a trainer to talk in flawless French.

The director Prem Soni is more than confident that Preity Zinta will speak French perfectly.

“From the start, we were very sure that Preity would get her French absolutely right with correct accent and pronunciation. We did not want to dub her French dialogues. By the time we start shooting, I am dead sure Preity will know as much French as any native and speak the language fluently enough to pass off as a French woman,” said Soni.

When Mumbai based newspaper DNA asked Hrithik about this response, he said this was better than a knee-jerk reaction.
