Preity Zinta's vivacity and natural talent has made her a favorite among Bollywood's dream merchants.
Recently the dimpled lass signed a film titled "Robot" opposite Kamal Hassan. The film, a sci-fi thriller, will be directed by the south Indian director Shankar who will make his Bollywood debut with the forthcoming film "Nayak" starring Anil Kapoor and Rani Mukherjee. Shankar is planning to use a lot of digital work and computer-generated special effects in "Robot".
In a press conference held recently, Media Dreams, the producers of the film, dismissed the rumors that the film has been shelved. They further clarified that the film will go on floors after Kamal is through with the entire post-production work of his in-the-making "Abhay" and Shankar too has canned his "Nayak".
Bollywood insiders affirm that the Zinta girl signed on the dotted line when Shankar approached her with the offer to play the lead. She is reported to be gung-ho about the idea of acting with Kamal Hassan, and thought it "a privilege" to work with "a star of such a caliber".
