Preity Zinta’s work front

Preity made her big-screen comeback this year with 'Batwara 1947', in which Sunny Deol and Shabana Azmi played the leads. The film drew mixed reactions from critics and viewers alike and didn’t fare well at the box office. She was also part of 'Vibe', alongside Kunal Kemmu, but that project met the same fate and flopped.
