Bollywood’s favourite Miss Bubbly is back – this time, as a gun-toting housewife who speaks mangled English. In Neerraj Pathak’s “Bhaiaji Superhit,” Preity Zinta plays Sapna, the wife of an eccentric gangster (Sunny Deol) who wants to become an actor.
The November 23 release also stars Arshad Warsi, Shreyas Talpade and Amisha Patel.
Zinta’s last leading role was in her home production Ishqk in Paris in 2013. She has stayed away from the screen, apart from cameos in “Happy Ending,” (2014) and “Welcome to New York” (2018), to focus on managing her Indian Premier League team Kings XI Punjab.
Her credits since her debut in “Dil Se” in 1998 include “Soldier” (1998), “Dil Chahta Hai,” “Kal Ho Naa Ho,” “Lakshya,” “Veer-Zaara,” “Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna,” and “Jhoom Barabar Jhoom.”
“It was a conscious decision to take a break from films, but this movie has reignited my passion for acting,” the 43-year-old actress said during a recent interview in Mumbai.
