Preity Zinta Set for Grand Comeback with 'Bantwara 1947'

Mumbai. Bollywood's 'Dimple Queen' Preity Zinta is fully ready for a grand comeback on the big screen with 'Bantwara 1947' after a long wait.

Preity, last seen in the film 'Bhaiyyaji Superhit' released in 2018, did not have a very good experience. That film, released after many obstacles and delays, crashed badly at the box office. After this big setback, Preity took a long break from the film industry.

In the past years, she was only seen supporting her team during IPL matches and smiling when fours and sixes were hit in the stadium. But now, as many veteran actors of the 90s are making successful comebacks in their second innings in Hindi cinema, Preity Zinta has also decided to enter the field.

She will soon be seen in a lead role with Sunny Deol in the film 'Bantwara 1947'. Its first look and teaser have been released.

Why did she stay away from the film industry?

About 8 years ago, in the 2018 film 'Bhaiyyaji Superhit', the audience got to see a completely different style of Preity Zinta. However, the numerous problems during the film's production and continuous delays greatly affected its business, and the film was a complete failure at the box office.

The impact of this failure on Preity was such that she distanced herself from the glamour world. The situation was such that in the past years, she was not even seen in a small cameo role in any film, and her entire time was limited only to IPL and family.

On one hand, Sunny Deol has made a strong comeback at the box office with films like 'Gadar 2' and 'Border 2', and now it is the turn of his old co-star Preity Zinta. 'Bantwara 1947' is said to be a very emotional patriotic film.

The coming times look very exciting for Preity Zinta's fans. This much-awaited film of Sunny Deol and Preity is fully ready for release in cinemas on August 14, 2026, this year.

Preity's comeback will not be limited to just this one film. According to sources, she may also start shooting for a new project by Yash Raj Films by the end of this year, which will be a romantic crime drama film. Besides this, if Hrithik Roshan's 'Krrish 4' moves forward, Preity could also be a part of it.

Meanwhile, there is also a lot of discussion in Bollywood circles that acclaimed director Sanjay Leela Bhansali is seriously considering casting Preity Zinta for season 2 of his web series 'Heeramandi'.
